About Look Sharp Aim True: Acoustic Tribute to Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson
"Shine is a classic stripped down new wave tense type, who sounds a good deal like 1977-1979 Elvis Costello when he was spitting hard into microphones and front rows."-The Big Takeover
Helmed by Seattle-based musician Ari Rosenschein (STAHV, The Royal Oui, Ari Shine), Look Sharp Aim True is an acoustic tribute celebrating the golden age of witty, melodic new wave. This show channels icons Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, Squeeze, and Nick Lowe.

He has worked with Jennifer Finch (L7), Josie Cotton, Gaby Moreno, and Angela McCluskey (Wild Colonials). Rosenschein's songs have appeared on Veronica Mars and Shameless, and he co-wrote the John Lennon Songwriting Contest Song of the Year.
