On This Episode Of The Podcast, We Talk With 2020 CMAO Rising Star Of The Year Winner, and 2021 Male Artist of the Year and Album Of the year Nominee, Aaron Allen! Aaron’s story will sound familiar to many.  Faced with some serious personal challenges as he entered his teenage years, country music became his lifeline and songwriting the outlet for his pain and frustration.  Allen made a promise to himself that he would make country music his career, even though – thanks to his wife – tattooing eventually helped pay the bills. “All I had was my voice and a guitar so country music was really the only way to go for me,” Allen says.  “I’ve always loved how simple and direct great country songs are.  They go straight to the heart and that’s what I’ve always tried to achieve with songs I write. I feel like my favourite artists are speaking specifically to me and I hope people have that feeling when they hear my songs.” NEXT WEEKS GUEST : CHRISTINA ROGERS!
