Irish singer/songwriter aidan mixes his energetic guitar style with his soulful voice to create a blend of folk music comparable to John Martyn or Ani diFranco, but refreshingly original at the same time.

After releasing his "live at bewleys cd featuring johnny rage (ITO), jenny lindfors, cian murphy (berimbodhrán), james guilmartin, ben kritikos, chris morrin (robotnik) and niall james holohan (readers wives), aidan toured Europe extensivly, hooking up with various bands and musicians and sharing the stage with such artists as Bobby McFerrin and Wallis Bird.

If you catch him playing live, whether it be alone, with his long-time musical partner, ben kritikos, with his 3-piece acoustic ensemble (percussion, guitars, 3 vocals), or with his percussion/vocal outfit, lord altmont, a live aidan show will wrap you up warm with harmony and raw energy that makes time stand still for a moment.
