The Ceiling Fan brings a lot to the table with Mike Arone and his lyrical piano style, along with Scott Sweeney and his melodic guitar methods. Both guys take inspiration from songwriting greats like Simon & Garfunkel and the Beatles, but also rock out to The Who, The Allman Brothers Band, and countless others. Scotts six-string creativity comes from many moves, ranging from Miami to DC and the spaces in between, along with several school and lifestyle changes. After a couple of bands, solo seemed to be Scotts indefinite direction, until meeting up with Mike, equipped with a passionate approach to lyricism and a gift for harmony. Mikes been playing piano for ten years and has dabbled in a couple of bands until concentrating on The Ceiling Fan. He has a love for jazz, and not-so-much a love for bad lines in songs. Together, these guys craft hooky, distinctive songs with a unique blend of sound and soul that ultimately is The Ceiling Fan.Band/artist history

hey mike hope you read this sometime soon. my email is bblankem@email.unc.edu, so just hit me up when you have some info about recording so I can adjust my work schedule around it. also if you have any ideas for the bass parts on the songs just tell me. Im gonna try to work on some riffs and what not for the songs on the site, so itll be easier to write when we get together in December. Talk to you soon. Peace.
hey guys... keep up the great work. scott, i saw you put me under people you admire. definitely means a lot to me since you're a better guitarist and lyricist than i am already. and you're like what... 6 or more years younger? :) anyways, i love the songs guys, especially "the man"... but all of them are great to listen to.
i wish you the best of luck in the future and if we never write a song together, may god strike us down and then kick us while we're down. and then spit on us. while we're down. okay i'm done.
:-D
i do enjoy the music, indeed. keep it up, and dont give up. because then, you would be wussies. and rock has no place for you anyway. got it? good. :)
Hey, guys!
I found you quite by accident, and boy am I glad I did! I LOVE your music! Interesting lyrics, strong and clear vocals...I have been enjoying your songs all night! Your somewhat eclectic stylings made it difficult to choose a favorite because they were all so unique. Oh, but how I did like "The Man."
Peace & blessings,
Freda
