“There’s just something about music with soul. People like Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Etta James… Their music hits me right in the stomach; the same way I bet it did my grandparents." Listen to Aaron Stephens and after 30 seconds you will hear the passion he has for this genre. Stevens’ EP To Reach Your Soul will demand your attention from the get go.
Not only is his voice rich, but like any great soul musician his lyrics are powerful. He sings, “Everyone has a weapon of choice; let mine be my voice.” If that’s the case, get out of his way. Nothing stands a chance against someone who has this much spirit and love for their craft. Aaron is touring all over Texas and will be back in Austin on July 30th to move you at The Hole in the Wall. –Written by Courtney Pierce
