Aaron Myers
Aaron Myers found his passion for performing at an early age while playing music in church in his hometown of Goodlow, Texas. He quickly developed talent as a pianist and singer, and has entertained audiences around the world with his soulful baritone voice, compelling stage presence and captivating personality.
Aaron moved to Washington, DC in 2008, following his work on Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. He quickly established himself on the local jazz scene through regular performances at the Black Fox Lounge, Mr. Henry’s and Blues Alley. He has toured internationally and released four albums showcasing his original songs and interpretations of the standards: “Leo Rising”, “The Lion’s Den”. “The Pride Album”, and the holiday album “Snowing in Vegas.”
Aaron continued his long history of activism in DC, with an emphasis on mental health and LGBTQI Rights. He helped build the Capitol Hill Jazz Foundation alongside saxophonist Herb Scott. He led the DMV Music Stakeholders group, formed during the COVID-19 pandemic to share resources, offer relief, and advocate for community needs to help strengthen and preserve Washington’s music ecosystem.
Aaron is a Governor & Voting Member of the Recording Academy. He has received numerous awards, including Wammie Awards (presented by The Musicianship) for Advocacy in 2019 & 2020 and for Best Jazz Artist & Best Jazz Song in 2022.
Aaron currently serves as Executive Director of the Washington, DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
Oren Levine
Oren Levine grew up with a love of music, especially jazz, inherited from his father. He started piano lessons as an eight-year-old in Washington, DC, and continued to play while earning two engineering degrees and building a career as an engineer and technology manager. He wrote his first song at age 45 in a summer jazz workshop in Vermont and released his first album of original songs, “Making Up For Lost Time,” in 2018. His song “Let’s Wander” from the album won him the 2023 ASCAP Foundation Alan and Marilyn Bergman Lyric Award.
Oren relocated from DC to St. Croix in December 2025, after 15 years as an active performer on the local jazz scene, including two shows as a headliner at the landmark Blues Alley club. He has continued to release music since his 2018 album, including “Bend Don’t Break,” an original song recorded on St. Croix with local musicians. His songs have also been performed and recorded by Aaron Myers, Carolyn Malachi, Lionel Lyles, Tony Gudell, Barbara Papendorp, Donna Singer, and the DC-based funk/hip-hop band The Lucky So & Sos.
Oren is an ASCAP songwriter and Voting Member of the Recording Academy.
