Sheli Aarden is a singer/songwriter from Middlesex, NJ. She has been writing poetry for 25 years and finally decided to do something she's always wanted. Learn to play the guitar.
Sheli's always had music in her. She started playing the open mic scene last February and hasn't stopped since. She began putting her words to music and realizing there was not only a lot of poetry inside of her but also songs. The ability to express them was a total turn around in her life. She has a special connection with the Indigo Coffee House, one of the first places she played and with the local musicians she met there who have encouraged her ever since.
Sheli expresses her love and passion through her songs. Her listeners can sense that her heart, although torn and tattered, has never been locked up or closed off - even in the hardest times.

Pat's band, The Karwin Patrix Band performs select club dates and festivals in the New Jersey area. In addition to the band format, Pat has spent a good part of the last 6 years perfecting his solo singer/songwriter performance.
