About Aaron
Aaron Dolman is a drummer, composer and bandleader born and based in Montreal who has establishing himself as a versatile and imaginative voice in the city's diverse musical scene.
His debut album, Nostalgia and Other Fantasies, was released in November of 2019. The album is a collection of original music that weaves together two of his great musical loves – Folk and Jazz – to create works that sway between engaging melodies, exciting improvisations and evocative soundscapes.
Aaron's second album, Are You Here to Help?, is a journey into the uniquely evocative qualities of drums and the human voice—brought into sharp focus by the strikingly minimalistic instrumentation of his unique trio, "Dolman/Rossy/Jobin". The group was awarded the François-Marcaurelle Award at the 23rd OFF Festival de Jazz de Montréal, and were recently featured in an interview with Le Devoir, which can be found HERE.
