MUSIC

Goode's Armadillo Palace presents Aaron Navarro.

Aaron Navarro hails from Austin, Texas, birthplace of some of the greatest rock and country music. Like Memphis, Chicago and New Orleans, Austin celebrates many styles of music and blends them into an organic, original style all its own. The impact of renown song-writers such as Robert Earl Keen, the raw integrity of bluesmen like Albert King and SRV, that perfect mix of all things American roots music has to offer in what the Rolling Stones gave back to us...it's all there. Navarro's songs focus on real life in that Southern tradition. It's beautiful even when it isn't working out quite how you pictured it.

Aaron he started writing songs with that natural blend of country's mellow, back-porch stories and rock's edge and urgency and never looked back. Frankie Sullivan once said something to this effect: if you can break it down to just a guy and an acoustic guitar and it still gives you chills, then you know it's really a great song. That's where these songs started.

It's that stuff you can't get a prescription for, that stuff that you can't be denied by some corporation or radio programmer. The music was always there in your head. You were just waiting for the right words to come along and show you how; that screaming lead to hit those notes your voice can't, the pounding bass and toms that beat in line with your pulse...That's what music is to me, and if it read anything like your own personal definition, then you need to be a part of this.
