He's mostly played rhythm. His influences are Bob Dylan, Bob Weir, Neil Young, Stephen Stills, etc. He also sings the majority of the songs, and writes the outlines for the setlists that we play. Aaron plays a left-handed Fender Strat, and a left-handed acoustic. Our lead guitarist is Michael Hill from Pataskala, Ohio. He's been playing guitar for about 7 years. He started out on rhythm but changed over to lead when he and Aaron Morgan started playing together.
