Aaron Lines is almost too good
to be true. The 27-year old Canadian country star has a heart as
wide-open as the plains of the working class North Canadian town
where he grew up – and a dream that's even bigger than the sky
above it. But even more importantly, the soft-spoken guitarist
remains true to the basic blue collar values that forged his
formative years – and have defined what many might call a
Cinderella ride through the ranks of the music business.
“I grew up in a close family… We weren't rich, but we weren't
poor,” explains the shy young man who had a #1 record on his
hometown radio station while still in high school. “You know, we
had problems like any other family, so I'm really similar to a lot
of people out there. It's kind of why I feel like if a song is
relatable to me, it's most likely gonna be something a lot of
other people are gonna relate to.”
“There's a song called ‘The Lights of My Hometown' that goes
back to me growing up a regular kid. I mean, I lived in a town
that I loved, but was too small for the dreams I was dreaming. You
leave thinking the world has a lot more to offer than your
hometown, only to realize years down the road that no matter where
you grow up, you will never be able to recreate the innocence and
feeling of ‘home' anywhere else in the world. No matter who you
are, or where that little town is, that's something we all have in
common.”
And it's those commonalities that set Lines apart. Where so many
aspiring artists can't get enough distance from where they came
from, Aaron Lines thinks it's the very thing that binds him to
every other music lover hoping to find definition in the way their
life is actually lived rather than a two-dimensional Hallmark
reality.
