Singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer, band leader, activist, and Grammy nominee.
Aaron Lee Tasjan has been and continues to be all of these things.
Over his past decade plus of writing, recording, producing, Tasjan has released four excellent and critically acclaimed solo albums, toured the world over on his own and as the guitarist in the New York Dolls. He co-founded and co-wrote all of the material for the band Semi Precious Weapons. In 2021 he was nominated for a Grammy for his writing on Yola’s “Diamond Studded Shoes” and most recently, Tasjan produced Mya Byrne's album Rhinestone Tomboy (Kill Rock Stars Nashville) which helped to establish her as one of the first openly trans artists in Americana Music.
He’s cultivated a brilliant and outstanding career to date already. But his forthcoming album Stellar Evolution (Blue Élan Records) is just what the title says. Tasjan’s new album is truly the sum of all of the parts of his diverse accomplishments to date while clearly heading in a brand-new direction. You can’t put any labels on Stellar Evolution except for it being a career defining work and a major leap forward for someone who’s never been afraid to push the boundaries of any and all expectations.
Special guest Ricki
As she is now becoming known far and wide, God of Garage Pop, Ricki, invented herself in East Nashville, TN in the summer heat of 2018. It was a tiny, one-room apartment off of Scott Avenue where she engineered, produced and played every note of her forthcoming debut full-length album, Naked Dreamer. She wrote all of the songs (with help from Aaron Lee Tasjan on Retirement Plan). With a DIY Punk ethos, she took apart and soldered a new transistor into the Tascam cassette 4 track machine that inspired her to create this raw and ready Rock’n’roll masterpiece.
The album’s lead off single, You’re Wrong, is a feisty, sludgy anthem with attitude. Take the song as a suggestion; free yourself from ridged expectations. Ricki’s world is one in which black and white thought is obliterated by the pure power of her voice, songs and guitar. It’s her turn to talk. Shut up and listen!
