Aaron Short performs totally live with acoustic guitar and voice. He was a regular on the London circuit for 6 years with clients including L'Oreal and performed over 100 weddings and private parties as well as performing at most of the bars and clubs in the city!
It did not take long to replicate this success in New York where he now resides and plays regularly at least 4 times a week. Playing songs from Pop, Rock, Country and Jazz he is also available as a duo or 3/4/5 piece band.
Aaron is totally self-contained and professional. The music can also vary from background cocktail style music to a high-energy party set.
Aaron was incredible - he has an amazing voice and not only entertained the kids but also parents. He was also professional, friendly and great with kids. I highly recommend him.
Response from Aaron Short:
Thank you so much for having me, the party was awesome!
Aaron was amazing and exactly what we had envisioned. Beautiful voice, incredible playlist and such a pleasure to work with.
I would give ten stars if allowed. People at our party could not stop commenting about how wonderful Aaron was. Terrific voice, guitarist and an absolute pleasure to be around. Total pro.
Aaron played for a two hour outdoor cocktail party in downtown Manhattan and was the highlight of the evening. Very professional, and great mix of songs that kept people entertained and surprised. Will absolutely book him for future events and highly recommend.
I don't think it would be possible to say enough nice things about Aaron. After interviewing several musicians, I picked Aaron to help me prepare for my proposal. He got me in proper singing shape and played the guitar portion of my song for my proposal. I had a great feeling about Aaron from reading his other reviews, but he was the best partner I could hope for.
Aaron is a standout musician and person. He is talented, nice, and flexible. Once I told Aaron what I was going for, he came up with a solid plan to prepare us for the event. He worked with me on singing, playing the piano, and timing, all while playing the guitar. The transformation that I experienced in only two practices was stunning. I had not played or sang in over 10 years and was nervous to perform for my fiance. In addition to being an incredible musician, Aaron is an exceptional teacher. During our two practice sessions, he showed me how to hit notes I hadn't hit in a long time. He worked with me on timing as well and truly went above in beyond. He took pride in everything we did and made all efforts to make sure my proposal was exactly what I imagined.
Day of the proposal, Aaron was prompt and ready to go. He assured me through the entire process and did some additional practice runs with me. Aaron was funny and also took the edge off. When my fiance saw us, Aaron took charge and started the song, really setting the stage. He made my job as easy as possible and was effortlessly amazing.
Throughout the entire experience, Aaron was patient, informative, and a joy to be around. By the actual proposal, we were jamming together like a real band. I would highly recommend Aaron for literally anything you can think of. That is the discerning quality about Aaron. He is incredibly talented at what he does and can help you achieve anything musical goal you put your mind to. There are several great musicians you could choose from, but I think Aaron is clearly a leg ahead because of his dedication to his craft and calming personality. Choose Aaron for whatever event you are planning. You can thank me later.
Aaron provided a great entertainment to my daughter's First Communion , good music and very engaging even with the little ones. We highly recommend him.
Thanks so much to Aaron for the support during the planning stages of my surprise wedding proposal in Central Park and for being even more fantastic on the day!
All planning was done from the UK and was so easy to do!
You made the event so much more special and memorable.

He played for my husbands 50th and everyone loved him. He has a great voice and a great range of songs. He is also a really cool guy. He is definitely talented!
Response from Aaron Short:
Thank you Nicola, I had a great time performing for you guys!
We had Aaron play for my daughter's 30th birthday party and everyone commented on how they wished they could stay longer just to listen to him sing. Great rapport with the guests, incredible repertoire and a charming personality. We couldn't have made a better choice.
Aaron was a lot of fun! I appreciate him coming to perform for us. He was very interactive with the bar patrons and was open to any requests they wanted to hear! I'll definitely be having him back many times to come!
We were lucky enough to book Aaron for our holiday party on short notice. Despite the snowy weather, and less than desirable driving conditions, Aaron showed up to our event in Westchester County and left us wishing his performance did not come to an end. What to expect if you hire Aaron? A great voice, skilled guitarist and engaging personality. We were hooked! He gave our event the ambiance needed to make this one of our best events to date. If you're serious about hiring an artist that is talented and will captivate your crowd, book Aaron today!
Response from Aaron Short:
Thank you Jeannette. I had a great time and hope to play for you guys again next year!
