est. 1980 Released
Posted 03/01/05
New York singer-songwriter Jody Aaron’s second full-length CD est.1980 is now available through
CDBaby, iTunes Music Store, Amazon.com, Target.com, and other digital retailers. The nine original
tracks showcase a soulful, southern-bred, singer-songwriter with echoes of Dave Matthews guitar and
songwriting that imbues classic American balladeers with a contemporary flair. Est.1980 features several
single-bound cuts including the kick-off track “Orange Soda,” a quirky Jack Johnson-esque number with
jazzy syncopation and impressive acoustic lead guitar. The harmonica-accented “Reflections” captures a
solidly acoustic Dylan vibe while the charmingly infectious “Living a Lie” would sound right at home in
the final act of a WB drama. “It’s about finding that one person who inspires you to become a better person
yourself, “ explains Jody. “If you’re not giving all of yourself to everyone and everything you come across,
you’re living a lie."
est.1980 was recorded in New York City and produced by Matthew Chiaravalle (Josh Joplin Group,
Jeffery Gaines, Warren Zevon) who also contributes percussion, guitar, and bass. Other players include
Tarrah Reynolds (Lauryn Hill) on violin and Brian McInnis on harmonica.
25 year-old Jody Aaron Friedman hails from the Coastal town of Clearwater, Florida. Raised on the music
of classic singer-songwriters like Harry Chapin, Simon and Garfunkel, and CSNY, Jody was just a kid
when he taught himself to play an old nylon string guitar that had belonged to his grandmother, listening to
CDs endlessly and picking out chords and melodies. He played open mics and coffeehouses throughout
high school and college, emulating the roots sounds of the Led Zeppelin, Indigo Girls, Shawn Mullins, and
Sarah McLachlan. Jody released a self-titled CD in 2002, but his first big break came a year later when a
song he wrote about his daytime production job, “The Prompter Song,” won first place in CNN’s
International Talent Search, landing him a live performance on Aaron Brown’s Newsnight. Jody relocated
to New York City shortly afterwards, and in 2004, VH-1’s Song of the Year Competition selected his song “World is Fallin’” as a finalist. In addition to his recent release est.1980, Jody has expanded into new
territory and recently composed the theme song for CNN’s Nancy Grace Legal Show. Further compositions
are also being considered for use on CMT, and in motion pictures.
