Earth to Aaron at the Upstairs Lounge

Aaron Conner White began writing and recording at 15, eventually performing with different bands around Boulder, Colorado, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He relocated to Brooklyn and recorded an album as Aaron Connor and the Musical Chairs. Now reduced to a duo with Sarah Pearson, the new act is called Earth to Aaron.

At a time when simple folk music seems to be making a comeback, male-female duos like the Civil Wars are gaining large audiences. Earth to Aaron seemed to have a similar pairing of voices, although here the dissimilarities were as significant as the harmonies. Unfortunately, the noise level of the patrons at Pianos’ Upstairs Lounge tonight was so loud that hearing the lyrics was a great challenge. Earth to Aaron will perform at Rockwood Music Hall on September 22 and at the Bitter End on October 6.
