Artist Spotlight- Aaron Shust

We've decided to start adding stuff about contemporary Christian music to our blog, so here's our first Artist Spotlight!

Artist Name: Aaron Shust
Website: http://www.myspace.com/aaronshust OR www.aaronshust.com

You can listen to his songs on his myspace site (which you can log on to even if you aren't on Myspace). He also has posted his lyrics on his official website.

Aaron Shust's songs are very catchy. You find yourself singing along to the lyrics almost right away. The lyrics are inspiring and the music is well written. His style is kind of like Jon Mayer's, however you would classify him.

We recommend taking a listen to Aaron Shust on Myspace Music!! Please let us know of any other contemporary Christian groups that you like by leaving a comment.

Have a great day!!!
