About Aaron MacDonald

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember growing up, going to kitchen parties, listening to my family sing old country songs. That is where the love for music began, in the kitchen. My parents would dance to the radio as we sang along. That's how it all began for me. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Grateful Dead, American Beauty Remastered John Prine, John Prine Paul Simon, Graceland John Prine made me want to learn guitar and write songs. By far, my biggest influence. When Paul Simon's Graceland was released, it completely changed how I wanted to write and create. American Beauty... Grateful Dead. What can I say?! Masterpiece! Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “My Soul and Me” My Soul and Me. I wrote this song after listening to a lot of Merle Haggard for days on end. I was asking myself, why do I play and write music?? This song was the answer I came up with. It is essentially my biography in 4 minutes. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I was lucky enough to see John Prine perform a few times. When I released my album, "John Prine's Advice", I got to wait in line to meet John and hand him a copy of my album. I'm not sure if he actually listened to it, but I'd like to think he did. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Too many bucket list items. I feel like I'm just getting started.
