Aaron Cloutier is a musician, composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and educator currently residing in upstate New York. For the last 18 years, Aaron has dedicated his life to his professional musical pursuits and has refined his expertise in the Metal/Rock/Alternative/Progressive/Electronic and Experimental genres. 

Aaron is a graduate of the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences where he studied audio engineering and music production.

Upon his graduation, Aaron has had the privilege of working with many artists ranging from Latin Metal band Ill Nino to world-renowned actor Sir Christopher Lee as well as audio-based companies such as Redwirez, Korora Audio and Ugritone where he has provided services ranging from song composition to voice-over work with additional services including being both a session vocalist and guitarist.

A couple keys to successful show is being able to read the crowd. Not necessarily giving in to the crowd but having the ability to understand the vibe presented, in order to play with or against the tide. Alternating between what the people want, and what the people need. 

This adaptiveness is one of James Calleo’s finest attributes as a songwriter, band leader and entertainer. 

For the past three years James has been able to live on the success of entertaining crowds with his music. From small singer/songwriter sets of heart felt originals, to captivating and then pummeling a crowd with the hits, James has been honing in on that very ability to keep a group singing, dancing and asking for more. 

His first release came in 2016 with the help of Grammy Award Winning Producer Ben Wisch at the helm.

Recently, he has been adding more and more pieces to the puzzle without over complicating his music. One, two and three part horn sections have been joining James on the road with the JCB, a full band outfit, comprised of the finest musicians in the Hudson County area. 

The shape shifting that takes place isn’t meant to throw you for a loop, rather, it shows the well rounded and unending development of one mans songwriting and passion for making music. 

Which ever outfit you get, whether solo, a stripped down trio or with a seven piece high energy band, you’ll end up getting to know James as a human, just having fun with it all. Sometimes it seems as if he has invited you into his home to share some drinks, conversation and music. 

James is working on songs with a 5 piece band for an EP that is sure to be full of heart, enthusiasm and an emotional direct performance of maturity and songwriting capability.
