John Aaron Cockburn writes and sings songs that calm the spirit and nourish the soul, drawing from personal experience and the collective unconscious to reveal elements about the human condition many of us either take for granted, or willfully ignore. 

There’s raw vulnerability to the material, but it remains inviting, and never alienating, the audience is connected through a sincere, heartfelt emotional presence, while never exaggerating for the sake of making a point.

A resident of BC by way of Montréal, John Aaron has been captivating audiences across North America and Europe with his distinct songwriting style and musicianship since 2012.

Interchanging folk, world, indie rock, Americana, jazz, punk rock, and chamber music throughout his career.
