Wildland Blues Band is the passion project of Oregon native, Aaron Elston.

 

While born and raised in Oregon, Aaron spent years in Texas honing his guitar craft beside country and bluegrass players, and countless hours spent blasting classic rock records riding the dusty backroads of the Texas Hill-Country. This upbringing created a unique dichotomy of sounds within the guitarist. Southern country and blues flavors steeped in classic rock intensity is at the root of the sound.​

 

Upon returning to Oregon, Aaron discovered North Mississippi and Delta slide blues players, and a whole new voice was found within the guitar. The raspy, otherworldly tones that nothing but a slide can produce captivated all of his attention.

​

Preserving the songs and sounds of Hill Country Boogie and Soul is the reason for Wildland Blues Band to exist. High-energy performances captivate audiences and get those asses shaking!
