John Mark McMillan is something of an anomaly: an artist and Platinum-selling songwriter bending genres and defying categorization by carving out his own unique and independent path. With an ear for melody and a poet’s eye for metaphor, no topic has been off-limits. While each of his albums over the past decade have continued to explore new territory, it’s McMillan’s ability to give lyric and language to the human experience that many consider his greatest gift.

I make all kinds of music, and/or vaguely musical noises for stage, screen, radio, and any other thing, whenever possible. 

Official stuff: 
Aaron Beaumont makes music for stage, for screen, and for practically any other thing, whenever possible. As a writer and performer, he’s shared his work in wide-ranging venues from the Sziget Festival in Budapest to KCRW Santa Monica to Theatre 80 in the East Village to the main stage of the West Hollywood Carnaval to the Tribeca Film Festival. L.A. Weekly wrote that Aaron’s music brings “a new life to the ancient music-hall/pop piano-man tradition, with clear-headed songs of genuinely witty lyrical oomph and, most of all, a historically informed musical depth – all delivered with style, grace, wit and elan, of course.” Recently, he was a finalist as both a composer and lyricist for the Fred Ebb Award for his work on the original musical Behind Closed Doors, co-wrote / arranged music for the forthcoming feature Permission (Rebecca Hall, Jason Sudeikis, Tribeca 2017), contributed an original song and several arrangements to Gil McKinney’s 2017 debut album (#1 iTunes jazz, #8 Billboard jazz), and premiered a new song cycle, Midtown Antoinette, with Parisian soprano Lorelei Zarifian for Florida Tech / Foosaner Museum / WFIT. He’s currently developing a pair of musicals with playwrights in LA and NYC, where he also occasionally helps produce outrageous bingo raves (Rebel Bingo), most recently at L.A.’s Globe Theatre for Night on Broadway. Aaron served as a 2017 Artist in Residence for the Spark & Echo Arts project, and also works as a composer, arranger, and producer for the Gregory Brothers / Schmoyoho, whose original music has earned them a gold and platinum record and nearly one billion views on YouTube. He co-founded the SongLab workshop and currently serves as co-chair of the Carnegie Hill concert series in New York, featuring leading interpreters of classical and New Music from around the globe. In his spare time, Aaron enjoys playing the piano, eating, making coffee, drinking coffee, going for brisk walks, being near coffee, and composing brief autobiographical sketches in the third person.
