Biography

Blake Aaron, a multifaceted guitarist, composer, producer and media personality, draws on a lifetime of diverse musical influences to create a masterful fusion of jazz, R&B, soul, rock, blues and Latin sounds. The Southern California based Aaron creates his most expansive, fully expressive collection yet, artfully alternating his lead voice between three of his favorite guitars: the D'Angelico hollow body, the Fender Stratocaster and the Cordoba Nylon string. Aaron's fans have long been entertained by his multi-guitar approach in his live performances where he'll set up his nylon string guitar on a stand while the Strat or hollow body is strapped around his shoulder – allowing for some amazing switch offs during the same song.

Saxophonist, Tom Braxton has a distinct, melodic sound that has been thrilling audiences of all ages for nearly two decades.  Dynamic…energetic…charismatic…warm-hearted…are just a few adjectives that have been used to describe this versatile instrumentalist and gifted composer. Braxton is a seasoned performer who has the amazing ability to “grab the heart-strings” of the audience within the first few minutes of his show; engaging them with his exceptional skill, wit, and charm, leaving them astounded, clapping, and on their feet screaming for more!  That’s why Jazz Review calls Braxton “one of smooth jazz’s most prolific saxophonists…with all the required tools to become a major force.”
