As a solo singer/songwriter, Aaron Persinger has taken a number of influences that date all the way back to the turn of the 20th century. By looking up to the bluegrass performers of the '30s and '40s, the rockabilly artists of the 1950s, folk singers from the 1960s, and alternative rock and country acts from the 1990s, Persinger is a musical jack-of-all-trades. Accompanied by a live band that backs him up throughout the Midwest as well as the watering holes of his native Bloomington, IN, Persinger eventually packaged his musical history lesson on his 2001 debut album, The Popcorn Guy. Not too long after that, he relocated to Nashville, TN. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
