Who's HotFeb-Mar 2005 New Talent Teams With Legendary Producers
He's enjoying a bit of a break before heading down to Nashville to team up with legendary record producer, Miles Wilkinson, to produce a four-song extended play CD. Wilkinson has produced and performed with such stars as Anne Murray and Emmylou Harris. Miles said in a recent interview with Canadian Cowboy Country that he first saw Aaron perform in Edmonton. "It was a crowded bar and people weren't paying attention to what was happening on the stage. Then Aaron got up there and the place went quiet. Everyone was focused on him. I was intrigued." Several months later, Wilkinson joined Aaron and his band on stage and as he said, "The same thing happened again. When you see him on stage, he just feels and looks like a star." Aaron has also been invited to take part in some songwriting sessions while in Nashville. "It's a real cross section of writers, some are struggling while others are very established," said Wilkinson. Aaron's new extended play CD will be available around the end of March.

Eighteen-year-old Christa is a recent high school graduate and a former member of the Saskatchewan High School Rodeo All Star team. In 2004, Christa was honored to be named the Cowgirl of the Year. As the first lady of Canadian Professional Rodeo, Christa will travel extensively throughout Western Canada and into the United States as the ambassador for the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association.
