She moved to Bushwick in 2006, launching her songwriting career with a song inspired by writer Christopher Stewart's 2006 interview with Serbian terrorist Nikola Kavaja, and was invited to appear on the website for The Paris Review. In the years following she worked to develop her songwriting and musicianship in the Bushwick arts and music scene and had her songs featured on Democracy Now and other public radio stations.
"Aron Blue, daughter of a California cow-town preacherman, sprung from dusty ole Bakersfield to land somewhat upright in one scruffy ole Brooklyn. [H[er music can be bluesy, brassy, sometimes a bit confrontational, with equal parts redneck and urban cynicism ... Revealed is a heartland moral compass, not entirely given to punk-inspired nihilism, nor to post-punk political correctness. Rather, there remains a notion of sin and salvation." - Joe Maynard, Maynard & the Musties
Aron Blue has performed at the 2015 Brooklyn Country Music Festival and the 2016 Brooklyn Americana Music Festival. After touring with queer-country artists The Paisley Fields in 2016, she spent much of 2017 touring the United States on a railroad pass, performing in local bars and coffeehouses in cities such as Austin, New Orleans, and Los Angeles.
2018 found her dividing her time between the West and the East Coast, performing at the Viper Room in Los Angeles, shooting a video in Las Vegas, and then returning to Bushwick where she is now recording a new album to be released in 2019.
You can find her music on Spotify and her videos on youtube under the name Aron Blue.
