Aaron Sprinkle - Biography

Aaron Sprinkle is a folk-rock musician who began his own career in the early 1990s. He started as a member of the band Poor Old Lu, which was considered one of the best indie groups of that time. The band was founded in Seattle during the peak of Nirvana and Rollins Band's popularity and gained significant popularity in its own right.

Sprinkle and the other band members had been playing together since their school days. In 1990, they released their first album, "In Love with the Greenery," under a different band name. In the early 1990s, Sprinkle's brother Jesse joined the group, and they changed their name to one borrowed from "The Chronicles of Narnia."

In 1992, the band began recording their debut full-length album on the attic of a local Christian church. The album was a labor of love, with the band members spending countless hours writing songs and sacrificing sleep and meals. Ultimately, after recording eight tracks, the band decided to halt their work as they were not fully satisfied with the results.

During this time, Randy Stonehill, a friend of Sprinkle, introduced the young musicians to Terry Taylor, who later became their sponsor. With Taylor's support, the band released their album "Mindsize." In 1994, they recorded their next album titled "Sin," this time with sponsor John Goodmanson.

A year later, Sprinkle and his colleagues released another record called "Straight Six E.P.," featuring six tracks. Over time, each band member started families, resulting in a decrease in the number of performances. Eventually, they all found steady jobs, but in 1996, they managed to create what turned out to be their best album to date.

In the fall of 1996, the group embarked on their final tour before disbanding. Following the breakup, Sprinkle joined Rose Blossom Punch, but unfortunately, his collaboration with the band ended in 1998 when they ceased to exist. In 2002, Poor Old Lu was briefly reformed, and although they disbanded again, they were able to release another impressive album.

During this time, Sprinkle transitioned into a producer role and worked on promoting numerous other bands.
