Aaron Gonzalez - Tenor

Aaron Gonzalez' career began at the age of 5, when he started singing in television commercials in the Bakersfield area for a popular local business, Jethro's Used Cars, where he became a local celebrity with his memorable rendition of "That Used to be My F-150". For several years after, he was much in demand from Bakersfield to Porterville. His big break came when he was 10, when he was asked to do a solo concert in Oildale for a big petroleum company. His version of "Is That an Oil Slick, Or Are You Just Happy to See Me?" is still talked about today. He fell onto hard times however, when it was discovered that he was hiding his income from the IRS and became the youngest person in the country to be thrown into jail for tax evasion. After his release, Mr. Dehn found him on the side of Highway 99, singing theme songs from popular commercials, and took him in.

Today, Mr. Gonzalez has made a full comeback, including the repayment of all the money he owed the federal government and has recently achieved his lifelong dream of acquiring Jethro's and is selling used cars on weekends.
