Biography
Somewhere in the Blue Mountains, just outside of Sydney, Australia, lives Aidan Roberts. He is the primary songwriter, singer and instrumentalist for his pet folk-rock project, The Maple Trail.
Sporting a dark beard and curly hair, Aidan spends his time writing and recording music from his home, forging an existence somewhere between serenity and mayhem. The Maple Trail is somewhat of a personal odyssey; a constant musical journey that has traversed the ravines of Sydney’s metropolitan limits, and rearticulated itself across hundreds of hours of tape and performances, leaving behind no less than 5 unreleased EP’s, but now culminating a full-length release, Dirty Echo Spark. Out this winter on Sydney’s Broken Stone Records (www.brokenstonerecords.com)
Born in the winter of 1979, Aidan seems most at home, creatively, during the colder months. For years he has made something of a pattern of writing and recording songs through the Autumn and Winter months.
“I like the dark time, the cold climates,” Aidan says. “I think the cold weather wakes my brain up, and that’s when your thoughts run wild, when your brain is really active and there’s a lot of lone time, you know, down-time. That’s when the ideas come, and it feels more natural to work away in your books and with your instruments. It’s also the time when you take in a lot more stuff – reading, writing, research, listening to records.
