Barker was
born in San Antonio, Texas, and began his musical career
in a "variety band". He stayed with his band for many
years and played everything from Bob Wills to Bob Seger.
Driving his bus from place to place, he began playing
with original melodies and lyrics hoping to create his
own songs. His first attempt, "Baby Blue,"
recorded by George Strait on the If You Ain't
Lovin', You Ain't Livin' album, went number
one in Billboard. Not knowing what this meant
to his future, Aaron continued to work in the band and
played songs for anyone who would listen.

"What About Now" #1 for 5 weeks
|
Aaron
began developing his own sound, and refining his original
material in small clubs and cafes where he would play
on weekends. One night after a long father and son talk,
he wrote "Love Without End, Amen."
Believing this would be a song that he would play for
his family, Barker decided to see what would happen
if he sent it to George Strait. Strait recorded it and
it stayed at the number one position in Billboard Magazine
for five consecutive weeks. |

says "These are real stories about real life, I've
lived a lot of life and I also drawn on the lives
of people I have crossed paths with." His background
and the knack for honest, heartfelt communication
has molded Aaron Barker into a songwriter of depth
and power, as well as making him a dynamic entertainer.
