The Shelf Concert & Buffet #51 - Aaron Wylder

About Aaron Wylder:

Aaron Wylder is a Caribbean-born singer-songwriter blending Americana, indie rock, and indie folk into music shaped by island living, west coast landscapes, and a deeply grounded sense of reflection. Raised in the Caribbean before moving to Victoria, BC at 14, his songwriting carries a feeling of openness and movement — music that feels both lived-in and quietly restless.

Built on warm acoustic textures, honest storytelling, and a laid-back emotional weight, Aaron’s sound moves naturally between intimacy and wide-open release. Influenced by both the simplicity of island life and the spirit of the west coast, his songs feel organic, unforced, and deeply human. His debut studio album, Brand New TV, marks the beginning of a new chapter as he continues to build his voice between Montreal and Victoria.

For his Shelf session, Aaron brings that same warmth, honesty, and stripped-back presence into a room built for listening — where every lyric, every pause, and every subtle shift lands with clarity.

About The Shelf Concert:

Inspired by NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert, we bring raw, stripped-down performances to Vancouver — but with our own after-hours twist. On Wednesday nights, Hestia closes its doors to the public and transforms into a private listening room for just 60 guests. No blasting speakers, no artificial mixing — just pure, direct sound. Artists self-mix in the moment, adjusting to the space and the energy of the room. And since each concert is recorded live, the audience isn’t just watching — they’re part of the final cut. Every cheer, clap, and moment of silence is captured by the microphones forever.

Your ticket includes:

✔️ Exclusive access to the session — An intimate, after-hours concert in the closed restaurant space at Hestia.

✔️ A late-night buffet — Curated by HESTIA to make the night feel even more special.

✔️ A role in the recording – Your energy, your reactions, your moment.

How It Works

• The concert is structured into three short sets (three songs each), with two 5-minute breaks in between.

• Natural emotional reactions (clapping, cheering, vibing, etc.) are encouraged!

• During performances, we ask for minimal disruptive noise — think of it like being in a live recording session. Because it is!

• Breaks are off the record — the perfect time to chat, enjoy the buffet, or grab another drink.

• Some artists may extend their set or play an encore if the vibe feels right — show your love and you might just get more!

Limited to 60 spots. Every session is unique and will not appear again.
