Hope Island Jazz and Cabaret presents The Aaron West Band

Raised in country New South Wales, Aaron began playing guitar at age 10 after being inspired by Stevie Ray Vaughan. After starting his professional career during high school, he then attended the Conservatorium of Music on both jazz guitar and jazz vocals, before lending his expertise to teaching.


Since then, Aaron has done everything a musician can do – playing thousands of gigs throughout the world, studio session work, singing jingles for TV and radio, and of course leading his own band who are comprised of some of Australia’s finest session musicians.


Drawing inspiration from the greatest artists in soul, rhythm and blues, jazz, gospel and funk, they are life-long students of music, embodying a level of dedication to their craft that sets them apart. Aaron and his band of virtuosic players, promises to transport you with his distinctive sound and style.
