Aaron Myers Retains His “Pride” Through Adversity

by Daniel Warren Hill

Fans of my own music will appreciate how much I truly love the use of homonyms, double entendres, puns, and other plays on words when conveying thoughts and ideas. It’s an effective tool, especially in music when a songwriter is trying to convey a thought or idea from more than one perspective.  Wammie award-winning jazz vocalist and songwriter Aaron Myers’ latest single “Pride” implements this idea to its fullest potential through self-affirmation as well as recognition of contributions by friends, family, and community. Listeners will want to take the time to acknowledge their own accomplishments as well as their lion-like support systems to the rhythm and feel of Myers’ invigorating upbeat reminder of all he has overcome while showing his appreciation for all that could not or cannot be overcome on one’s own. “Pride” is the third single from Myers’ forthcoming album, The Pride Album, available on all major platforms on April 30.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
