:: Release Notes:
::
:: "Aaron has some of the best phrasing of anyone I know singing
:: songs. There are lines in every song that really floor me.
:: Aaron is big talent."
:: -- Rebecca Martin, MAXJAZZ Recording Artist
::
:: Aaron Berg was born in Greenville, South Carolina in 1984 and
:: began his musical sojourn as an upright bass player for a
:: variety of jazz, folk, and blues groups. At eighteen, he
:: moved to New York City to attend the New School but left less
:: than two years later disillusioned and eager to reconnect to
:: his Southern roots. In 2004, he played at the Windgap Folk
:: Festival with Peter Rowan [Bill Monroe (1963-1967), Old and
:: In The Way]. Other sidemen in the band included Chris Hillman
:: [The Byrds, Flying Burrito Bros.], Herb Pedersen [Emmylou
:: Harris, Earl Scruggs, Gordon Lightfoot], and Richard Greene
:: [Bill Monroe]. In early 2005 Aaron began playing guitar and
:: singing originally as a late night past-time with several
:: friends who shared an apartment on West 4th Street in
:: Greenwich Village. Within months a backing band had been
:: formed. "Too Soon To Tell" and "A Woman In My House" were
:: recorded live by the band at an early demo session during
:: that period.
::
:: The Heavy Love is a melodic rock and roll ramble of hypnotic
:: electric density, and boisterous guitar. The songs, all
:: Berg's own, reflect a collision between a modern ambient
:: electric tradition, and a firm root both in delta blues and
:: the american folk idiom reaching as far back as Woody Guthrie
:: and Hank Williams.
::
:: The band's sometimes alt-country flare is bolstered by gritty
:: upright and electric basses, grainy late-night guitars, and a
:: driving, creative expanse of drums and percussion. Across the
:: heavy eclectic sound, comes a mixture of distorted chromatic
:: lyricism, reverberant country steel, and a thick melodic
:: jangle of Moog and Nord synthesizers, tape delays, acoustic
:: piano, and Fender Rhodes.
::
:: Currently, Mr. Berg performs throughout New York City and the
:: east coast both with and without his band. This fall he will
:: embark on a national tour beginning in October.
