For Aaron Broering it all started with the kid, the guitar and the dream. Born March 17th 1972, also to a family of musicians. His early exposure to the sounds of the 70's is successfully evident in his passionate and accurate representation of the Eagles material. As a child and young adult, Aaron was greatly influenced by musical heavyweights as The Beach Boys, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney, and the culmination is Aaron new cd, "The Road Less Traveled", a collection of original gems crowned by the hit-bound "Ruby".

Born in Garden Grove, Aaron's road began to take shape. His father was a drummer and professional surfer, and his mother was a keyboardist, vocalist and songwriter. His mother's participation in their church's music group introduced Aaron to musical variety and, ultimately, to the variety of instruments he would conquer.

In 1993, Aaron was accepted as a vocal music major at San Diego State University where he began working on his bachelor's degree in music. During his studies at SDSU, he began experiencing moderate local success with his music. While honing his vocal and composition skills as well as teaching himself guitar, he won the 1995 homecoming talent show with his original song, "We All Find a Way", which also appears on his cd. The accomplishment was duplicated the very next year with a collaboration on a song called, "Innocent Grandchild". Aaron and partner Julio Ferrari fronted the group Blue Heaven which played in the San Diego area until 1998.

In his senior year at SDSU, Aaron composed an orchestral and choral arrangement called "Wing and a Prayer", which epitomized the struggle and strife of loss. The composition was selected and performed in concert at the university in 1998. It was acknowledged by his instructors and his peers as having commercial potential, but served more as a milestone of his musical and spiritual growth. On a more personal level, it was Aaron's final tribute to his mother, his first musical muse, who passed away in 1997. He continues to arrange and compose original instrumental music.

In 1998, Aaron completed his degree and continued performing professionally both nationally and internationally with various groups. Since that period, he has gained continual acclaim and recognition for his original compositions and live performances.

In 1999 Aaron began touring nationally as lead vocalist, lead guitarist and pianist with various groups which opened for artists such as Dwight Yoakam, Le Ann Rimes, Gregg Allman and Three Dog Night. In 2000 he toured in Europe and Asia as lead vocalist, lead guitarist and pianist with the Sam Morrison Band which showcased original material and shared billing with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Confederate Railroad and Juice Newton.

In 2002 Aaron completed his original cd, "The Road Less Traveled" and was commissioned to conduct a guitar performance workshop at Cardinal Ohara High School in Buffalo, New York. And from 2001-2002 toured with the Eagles tribute band, Hotel California, which marked the first time he and Jeff Ballew would take the stage together. He also performed locally in the acoustic duo Liquid.

In 2003, while working on his second original cd, "Reason to Believe", Aaron's song "Gotta Get Out" appeared on the soundtrack of the movie, "The Far Shore" , a documentary about surfing. His original music has also been featured on air on Santa Monica's popular radio station KCRW, which notoriously showcases original up-and-coming artists. While keeping busy playing locally with various artists, bands and projects, his work with Desperado also gains continual acclaim. Aside from using the Eagles sound as a major influence in his own music, Aaron has had the fortune of meeting with Eagles members, Joe Walsh and Randy Meisner.
