Biography

[edit]

Tim Aaron was born in Washington, D.C., on October 15, 1965. He is the only child of David L. Aaron, an American diplomat who served as Deputy National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter and Chloe Aaron, former deputy director of the National Endowment for the Arts and Senior Vice President of the Public Broadcasting Service.[5][6] He is also the grandson of Abe Aaron, a jazz saxophonist in the Bob Hope Orchestra. Tim Aaron attended The Stowe School in rural Vermont as a teenager, where he was guided into music through an experimental educational program that focused on the arts. Aaron received a BA from Hampshire College, studying the Schillinger System of music with jazz/experimental legends Roland Wiggins, Yusef Lateef, Bill Harris, and Eugene Chadbourne.[7] He also studied filmmaking with photography pioneers Jerome Liebling and Carrie Weems. During that time, he formed GobbleHoof with Charlie Nakajima, Jens Jurgenson of Boss Hog, and J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., who played drums on GobbleHoof EP (1990), the band's first release on New Alliance Records.[8] Mascis produced the band's second album, Freezer Burn (1992, New Alliance).[9] GobbleHoof toured the U.S. and Europe, opening for bands including Dinosaur Jr. and Nirvana.[10]

In the early 1990s, Aaron lived in New York City and performed in various bands such as GobbleHoof, H.P.

In the mid-1990s, Aaron moved to Los Angeles.
