Aaron Simmons hails from Stewartville, a small town in southeast Minnesota, and also has family ties in Wadena. Aaron is best known for his unique combination of high-energy stage presence and vulnerable songwriting. Nobody has more fun on stage, yet nobody is more in touch with the emotion his music conveys about love, loss, family, community, and chasing dreams.
Simmons has lived in Nashville since 2021 and is influenced by Chris Stapleton, Caitlyn Smith, Brothers Osborne, and Tenille Townes. Simmons is a seven-time nominee for awards in the Midwest Country Music Organization (including Male Vocalist in ’23 & ’22, Song in ’23 & ’22, Album in ’23, Music Video in ’22, and New Artist in ’21). His single “Soldier in a Frame” was selected as a semifinalist in the American Songwriter magazine’s “2023 Song of the Year” contest. Additionally, his single “Nobody’s Home in Wadena” held the #1 position on Spotify’s Local Pulse: Minneapolis chart for two consecutive weeks in August 2022. He has also opened for renowned acts such as Scotty McCreery, Parmalee, Easton Corbin, Restless Road, and Kat & Alex.
