"Being able to adapt to any musical situation on the spot," is how multifaceted guitarist Michael Aarons is best described. Michael is fast becoming one of the most in demand guitarists on the scene today.

Originally from Washington D.C., Michael has made appearances for Bill Clinton at the White House and for Al Gore at the Naval Observatory. He has also played on the Fox Morning News and was commissioned to perform at the American Embassy in Paris, France to represent jazz education in Washington, D.C.. Michael attended the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, and later received his Bachelor of Music (BM) degree at the Manhattan School of Music where he studied under the tutelage of Jack Wilkins and Rodney Jones.

Michael is currently teaching privately, and building a student-base throughout New York. He most recently wrote, recorded, produced and performed all original musical arrangements for the off-Broadway production of OYL. He can also be heard on the debut recording, "Sheera Ben-David sings Jacques Brel", as well as performing as guitarist with the R&B group, Kaliq as well as the funk/R&B quartet, A.D.D.. Michael is an original member of the Tom Kitt Band, a popular New York City-based piano driven pop group and can also be seen playing all the New York City hotspots, like Mercury Lounge, Bowery Ballroom and Arlene Grocery. Michael has played for numerous productions for impresario, David Gest, and has played the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame for the "Holiday Gala: 2000" featuring Michael McDonald. Michael also works for numerous productions under 2nd Generation and Sh-K-Boom Records backing up Broadway artists such as Alice Ripley, Billy Porter, comedian Mario Cantone, and Michael McElroy.

Michael Aarons has been described as a "musical chameleon," because of his stylistic versatility and dedication to reinventing himself. He is always exploring new and exciting sounds within the jazz idiom while reaching an audience broader than the traditional "jazz in-crowd". He has an original approach to the instrument; one which is innovative yet appealing enough to capture listeners outside of the jazz guitar faction.
