Featuring Aaron English on lead vocals and piano, The Aaron English Band blends the music of diverse traditions - from the Middle East, Brazil, West Africa, the Pacific Islands, and medieval Europe - with contemporary folk and rock. The live show is a 21st-Century fusion of ancient and modern, traditional and cutting-edge: of belly-dancing and trip-hop grooves, of lead "guitar" solos played on electrified hurdy-gurdy, of bouzouki and didjeridu layered with electronic beats.

The Aaron English Band was a semi-finalist in the Coca-Cola/American Music Awards New Artist Competition in 2002, and a finalist in Atlantic Records' Soul City Music Quest (The winner toured with Jewel as an opening act on her 2003 world tour).
