Country Fried Rock chats with Aaron Beavers, of Austin, Texas about his time writing and playing with John Popper (Blues Traveler) and the Duskray Troubadors, and his own band, Shurman. Read the full description.

Shurman_edit_small Aaron Beavers is one of those musicians that other musicians and music fans gravitate towards. He has been cited as an influence by Stonehoney and The Mother Truckers, and has his own role models in the Mother Hips and Asleep at the Wheel.  Despite living everywhere from Atlanta, to Los Angeles and Hawaii, Texas is Beavers' home.  His upcoming record, Inspiration, draws heavily on his Texas roots and what keeps him inspired after five albums.

There are some brief audio quality problems with the telephone connection in this conversation.
