Aaron Lee Tasjan

Aaron Lee Tasjan (www.aaronleetasjan.com) has a pretty simple writing process: he gets up around 8am, has a glass of water, and pets his cat. Then he writes. But not every day. "I only write when my body tells me to, when I can go off yesterday's fumes," he told me. And in one of the best rituals I've ever heard, Tasjan always writes with a pencil--but never uses the eraser. "I hate erasers," he says.
Tasjan lives in Nashville, where the Frist Art Museum serves as a tremendous source of inspiration for his songs. His new album Stellar Evolution (aaronleetasjan.lnk.to/stellar...) is out now on Blue Elan Records (blueelan.com/collections/aaro...) .
