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 addition to playing notable clubs, dance halls and festivals around the country, he has played 800+ private events and is very well versed on how that world works. Solo, duo, trio, or full band formats are available.

“In the crowded Texas country field, McDonnell stands out as one of the most natural talents to rise out of Austin in years.”
