Aaron “Heatbox” Heaton has an interesting sound that he seems to have been born to cultivate. He is able to makes sounds like an instrument. So if he tries to sound like a horn, he does; a synth – he does. He also has some amazing music production skills, such as looping. He can loop with audience participation. Amazing. And he has a great sense of humor.
Combined his music is a delight. And you can catch him at the MN State Fair – if not beforehand.
The theme was boots and shoes. Thanks to folks for their requests and recommendations. You can listen to the aspirational playlist on Spotify. Or check out what we actually played below.
