Pride of Alaska: Story of Caleb Aronson

Caleb Aronson was a singer-songwriter, unlike usual artist he was raised in North Pole. All of his song writing reflects a uniquely Alaska background.Linvengood(2005) was his first solo double album recorded entirely in Alaska which consist a lot of songs about Alaska history. His second album, From the Next Town was released in 2008.

Aronson began playing music around 15, this just happen when he borrowed a guitar to his dad and started to listen to his Dad’s record collections. He says “Looking at music was eye opening”, as he describes studying the written Harvest sheet music while listening to the album and learning to play the songs. His focus on songwriting over the years has led to recognitions from the Rasmuson Foundation (Aronson received an Individual Artist’s Award) and American Songwriter Magazine.

After three years living in Boston, Aronson returned to Alaska in 2009. He says it feels great to be back! If we will do a background check about Caleb Aronson, with his success outside Alaska still he didn’t forgot where he really came from. He is really an artist to be idolized and Alaska to be proud of!
