Aaron MacDonald

Out of the woods of Mabou, a town that beats in the musical heart of Cape Breton, comes the soulful, ever captivating, Americana singer Aaron MacDonald. It’s this small-town lifestyle that inspires songs for this ECMA nominee. Aaron’s matured blend of country and rock, all lovingly leaning towards roots and blues, carries the feel of familiarity while experiencing new songs for the first time. The authenticity of MacDonald’s live performances is magically captured as he lays out his life’s story with each song. His music comes across as something between the rhythmic soul of Nathaniel Rateliff mixed with the superb simplicity of John Prine.

Named as one of CBC Music Searchlight’s Top 100 Emerging Artists, showcasing at ECMA 2022, nominated for NSMW 2022 Americana Album of the Year, spots at the 2023 Stan Rogers Folks Festival and Halifax Urban Folk Festival, this seasoned songwriter is making his mark.

A voice that combined with the real & “come from the heart” lyrics will leave you more hopeful & inspired in your life.
