Aaron Smith

ns who have found a common groove– but the Coal Biters have found one, and they love sharing their music and ponderings with their fans. You’ll see an impressive array of instruments come and go in the course of the evening. Guitar and banjo, upright bass and mandolin, hand drums and tambourines all take center stage at different times– but washboards and foot cymbals, clarinet and more turn up occasionally as well. This Arkansas Ozarks band embraces its roots… the band members love their hometown, the Buffalo National River that flows nearby, and all the folk and pioneer history that flows through these ancient hills. Local characters and legends make their way into Aaron’s songs; his interpretations of familiar places and events leave listeners thinking about this amazing place where we all live– and our own place within it.
