Cali Country Rising: Presley Aronson Talks Tour, Truth & Tunes
Stepping into our podcast studio this week is the vibrant and multitalented California-country artist Presley Aronson. Born and bred in the Golden State, he’s weaving his story into his music with a refreshing blend of modern country storytelling and Westcoast sunshine swagger.
A Road Worth Riding
On the episode, Presley walks us through his latest run of tour dates—bringing his “Cali Country” sound to fans across the region and beyond. Among the highlights: recent stops that included his set at the iconic Catalina Wine Mixer. He talks about the thrill of connecting with audiences live, the workouts backstage, the last-minute gear checks, and what it really takes to bring a fully-fleshed show to life when you’re on the move.
New Music on the Horizon
In our conversation, Presley dives into how songs reflect his journey—growing up in California, navigating bullies, finding his voice, and crafting his version of country music (he calls it “pop/modern country with a California flare”). He emphasizes that the heart of it all is storytelling.
Thoughts on the Music Business
We also unpacked the business side with Presley. His take is refreshingly real:
- Independence matters: Presley runs his own production company (Presley Aronson Enterprise / PAE Studios) and oversees the creative process from songwriting to video production.
- Authenticity pays off: He argues that in an era of curated perfection, listeners gravitate toward genuine emotion and raw stories—especially in country music.
- Touring is crucial: For Presley, the live shows aren’t just a way to promote a record—they’re where the relationship with fans is built in real time.
Tune in to our latest episode to hear Presley’s story in full: the tour highs, the new-music promise, and the unvarnished view of making country-pop that matters.
