Aer performs its Word of Mouth Tour at the WOW Hall with special guests RDGLDGRN and New Beat Fund on Sunday, March 2, 2014. The band is known for its eclectic mix of rap, reggae, pop and indie rock aesthetics to create its own brand of music. David von Mering and Carter Schultz formed Aer in Wayland, MA and released their first mixed tapes in 2010. Following the success of its first album “The Bright Side,” Aer began working on its self-titled sophomore effort, “Aer,” in late 2012. The album dropped in late 2013, and the group has been on tour ever since. Ultimately the group’s goal is to create interesting, well-crafted songs that they can share with as many people as possible.
