Nashville, TN --- He may well be America’s newest “poet laureate.” With his latest release, Tinderbox, Aaron Burdett writes what he knows and in the process, reveals the soul of a working-class poet. With his dynamic road band, Aaron has created an emotion-charged recording in Tinderbox. It is the work of an artist who has refined his craft through several independent recordings, live performances and award-winning songwriting efforts. Burdett’s writing reflects the struggles of an underdog whose journey to the top is ongoing. “Tinderbox Heart,” the source of the album’s title, brims with Burdett’s warm vocal textures. Tinderbox is a mix of stripped-down tunes, combined with high energy songs, and Burdett’s vocal power and songwriting prowess shine throughout. The message of Tinderbox is largely focused on triumph over adversity and hardship, tinged with a sense of defiance and conviction. Heavily acoustic, the album shows a lot of grit, a word that just as easily describes the artist himself. Burdett, like the working class folk he writes about, is a builder, or rather, a craftsman. His tools are voice, pen and guitar. Reviewers have noted Burdett’s authentic singing voice, drawing comparisons to Van Morrison, John Hiatt, and even Jack Johnson. The combination of his prolific writing, arranging, and delivery proves him a significant artist on every level. This is Burdett’s sixth studio release and his second on Organic Records. Burdett is featured in a pilot episode of WNCW’s Southern Songs and Stories which gives insight into Aaron Burdett’s sensibility.
