Enter: The Wind now available
I had a great weekend, playing Friday at Pat’s with Lucas Maddy and Saturday at Bobby T’s with the long lost Trevor Burgess. I saw friends on Saturday I hadn’t seen in over three years. It was a great reunion that took me back to the glory days at Fats.
The new song Enter: The Wind was well-received. The lyrics are now posted on a page in the songs section and a recording made at the Bobby T’s show is posted in the downloads section. Let me know what you think of it in the comments.

Shows this weekend
We’ve got some exciting shows on the books, including two this weekend. You won’t want to miss them, as I’ll be breaking out a brand new song called “Enter: the Wind”. We’ll be posting the lyrics on the site in the songs section after this weekend, along with some recordings of it.
We’re going to try streaming the audio and video of the shows this weekend live on the website, so if you can’t make it to Aggieville tonight or Bobby T’s on Saturday, you can tune in to www.aarontraffas.com after 9 p.m. each night to view the feed. We’re going to be counting on a Sprint USB stick to deliver our 1s and 0s, so say a prayer for CDMA EVDO in Manhattan.
Tonight is the first Aaron and Lucas show at Pat’s in Aggieville. Tomorrow is the first Aaron and Trevor Burgess show since December 2005 – AND it’s on Valentine’s Day. All bets are officially off. Bring your girl, we’ll take care of the rest.
See the complete calendar at https://aarontraffas.com/shows
I hope to see you tonight at Pat’s or tomorrow at Bobby T’s.
