Country Classrooms Keeps Rolling With Aaron Allen
- By Andrew Wenn

As a part of Country Music Week, Country Classroom, presented by the CCMA 2021 London Host Organizing Committee, continues with this weeks featured artist Aaron Allen. Live performance video below.
In 2019, a relatively unknown song writer named Aaron Allen burst onto the Canadian Country scene with his first single "Where Music Comes From". Although he had been writing and playing for close to 20 years, he seemed to appear out of the blue and immediately started turning heads. Aaron caught the attention of Apple Music Curator, George Maniatis, and with the support from Apple, Allen’s EP Highway Mile has amassed over 4 million streams to date. If you ask Allen, he will credit his partnership with Producer Jeff Dalziel as the turning point in his career. Together they have created a sound easily recognizable to the listener. They bonded over artists such as Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, and the idea that an honest, timeless approach to music and song writing is evident in everything they release. At the 2021 CMAOntario awards Aaron won 3 awards, including Male Arist of the Year and Album of the Year. Born and raised in Chatham but now London based, Aaron Allen's music is deeply rooted in the singer-songwriter atmosphere created by greats like Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle and Bruce Springsteen. You can hear the emotion and honesty in the words Aaron puts forth and because of that there’s no denying 4 chords and the truth is still alive and kicking.
