"Maybe, just maybe, a new Elton John might be just what the doctor ordered, someone who can bring a new life to the ancient music-hall/pop piano-man tradition, with clear-headed songs of genuinely witty lyrical oomph and, most of all, a historically informed musical depth--all delivered with style, grace, wit and elan, of course. Your candidate for such a new contender might very well be one Aaron Beaumont." John Payne, LA WEEKLY.

"Aaron is one of those musicians that makes it look so easy." Guilt Free Pleasures
"I wasn't alive in the 20s, but somehow, Aaron Beaumont makes me nostalgic for the decade." Impressionable Youth
"I'm absolutely blown away by this man's music right now. The man creates piano-based soul-tinged songs that ooze with a revivalism of older composing values while yet staying timeless." The Lemur Blog
"Optimistic, heartfelt and slightly quirky, Beaumont stands out in the sea of singer-songwriters who descend upon dark bars in Manhattan... Aaron appears to have a very bright future ahead of him." New York Cool
"With flurries of Wurlitzer, glockenspiel, and reindeer bells layering Aaron Beaumont's tunes, the singer/songwriter seems to have popped out of a music box. In fact, Beaumont recently relocated from Nashville, bringing with him a folky aesthetic chock full of charm and whimsy." Jane McCarthy, Flavorpill
Maybe, as Aaron Beaumont suggests in the title of his recently reissued debut album, nothing is forever no, not even goodbye, but some things do come awfully close, and on that list, tastefully ragtime-drenched piano playing and the smooth croon of a natural pop vocalist must rank awfully high. That's good news for Beaumont, whose Nothings Forever (Not Even Goodbye) is filled with impeccably crafted, pleasantly retro songs... In lesser hands, Beaumont's extremely retro vibe would be nothing but a flimsy gimmick, but he's clearly a songwriter who understands the difference between the strongly nostalgic and the simply timeless. Jeff Giles, Eat Sleep Drink Music
"Aaron couples the insight that one might expect from someone many decades older with the optimism that is associated with someone early on their path. As a lover of both music and words, I felt alternately engaged and overwhelmed by a desire to drink every lyric and note throughout the show." Bre Goldsmith, L.A. Acoustic
