Imagine a country music universe built around the moody experience of Dwight Yoakam’s song
1000 Miles From Nowhere, or the dour music of 90’s Chris Issak. Then infuse it with just enough
80’s-inspired New Wave goth to make it even more unique and nostalgic.” (Saving Country
Music) Aaron McDonnell has toured nationally playing noted events such as Honky Tonkin’ in
Queens, Jackalope Jamboree in Oregon, The Grand Ole Echo in Los Angeles, and Honky Tonk
Tuesday in Nashville. He has also toured Ireland and the UK, and is a mainstay at Austin’s
iconic White Horse Honky Tonk. He has released a series of acclaimed albums and is currently
signed to Feels So Good Records. He was also named as one of the “4 Must See Honky Tonk
Bands in Austin” by Austin Monthly magazine in 2025.
“In the crowded Texas country field, McDonnell stands out as one of the most natural talents to
rise out of Austin in years.”
