Hi, my name is Aaron Hug. Yes, that is my birth name. Since I’ve been dealing with it all my life, let me spell it out for you. It’s 2 A’s and only one R, then your ON- the right track. It’s NOT 2 G’s in Hug, but I’ll take 2 G’s if you got it to give (and if you thought it was spelled ‘Erin’, there really might be something wrong with you).
As far as my music is concerned, I had a band for a super quick bit in 2003 called Sintaxxx. We played some around the Philly area. Then in 2012, I went by Obirion and released my first full length demo album while in Nashville, TN. (it was recorded on a crappy 8 track and the quality sucked. it was only the 2nd time I ever tried recording in my life, and it was also my first time ever mixing and mastering. plus, I had to do everything by myself). I think you can still hear some of those tunes on Soundcloud.
Please reach out to book me. I can do many things well in life, but being a booking agent isn’t one of those things. I currently live in Austin, TX and I’m ready to hit the road for any tour.
I started writing new music for the first time in 10 years in 2023. I wrote around 25 songs in a months time. Some of my quick musical video recordings are below. These recordings are very lo-fi, so if you’ve been listening to over produced studio garbage over the last so many years, you may fail to hear the music behind it all. Find more of my music on my twitter, tiktok, or instagram @theaaronhug. Follow me too so we can be virtual friends!
I’d love to continue to do music, but I do need some motivation to do so. That motivation is merely getting a booked show or opening for someone. Or, finding bandmates to keep me interested. Can you play or know someone who does? I have tried reaching out to book my own shows but many of you probably know how the system is set up. I’m not a booking agent, I just write great songs.
My contact info is on this web page. Please reach out to me ASAP as I would love to sing for the people and hopefully lead the human race towards a new sound.
That has always been the important thing to me- the new sound. From hymns to classical, mountain music, blues, jazz, folk, big band, motown, soul, hip hop, electronica, and all of the incredible evolutions of rock n roll- when was the last time you heard a new genre of music? I won’t be able to do it alone. My abilities to sing, play guitar, and write, far exceed what you will hear on these very quick recordings taken with my phone.
All the songs you hear were recorded within a couple days of writing them and some within minutes. I can honestly tell you that the music I would be making by now would be completely different and earth shattering if I was given a helping hand long ago (bandmates, shows, manager, contract).
Lastly, I don’t have a Will and/or Last Testament made out, but ya never know what can happen in life. So, I hope you respect my wishes when I say that if I don’t get to record my songs professionally in a real studio to display what my songs, should and can really sound like, then I don’t want anyone recording my songs, or using them for anything, or playing them live after I die. And let me say this extends out to computers, robots, Ai, clones, cyborgs, humanoids, aliens, and holograms, too. Sounds odd, but what’s stranger is where the human race is headed. You can listen to them in the state I left them in. While I’m still living, I actually would love other bands and performer’s to cover my songs live and mention that they are Aaron Hug or Ion Orb songs.
