Aaron Vance was born on Christmas Day in Amory, MS with undeniable gifts; a talent for writing songs and a voice with which to sing them. He got his first cowboy boots at the age of 4 and began singing in the church his father pastored by the time he was 6.
His truck-driving grandfather doted on his only grandson and Aaron remembers hearing country music sitting beside "Big Daddy" in his green and white crackerbox cab or on his tractor.
The family moved frequently when Aaron was a boy, settling in Mooreville, 6 miles East of Tupelo, when he was 13. Often the "new kid" at school, he was teased by peers for his strong country bias but believes that the experience taught him self-reliance and how to forge his own way.
Aaron graduated from Itawamba Community College in Fulton, MS and spent a year at Ole Miss before striking out on his own. He worked a variety of jobs from men's store retail to tire factory manufacturing while playing clubs and festivals around North Mississippi.
On a trip to Nashville in 2012, Aaron met Hal and Rachel Newman of Windy Holler Music who became his staunch supporters and mentors. With their encouragement and guidance and that of his family, he made the move to Music City in August, 2014.
Aaron has 4 albums to his credit for Windy Holler Music; "Country DNA", 6 songs, 2012; "Talk of the Town", 10 songs, 2014; "Shifting Gears", 7 songs, 2016 and "My Own Way", 10 songs, 2017.
With his rich, immediately recognizable voice, undeniable talent and strong personal charisma, Aaron Vance is poised confidently on the leading edge of the new country wave.
