Aaron Marcus (they/them) is best-known throughout the country for their performances with Frost & Fire, The Turning Stile, Cedar Waxwing, StellaFlora, and formerly Giant Robot Dance. Aaron also brings exuberant energy, danceability, subtle lyricism, deep emotion, and spontaneity to any band arrangement, whether as an accompanist on piano or clogging while playing tunes on concertina. Aaron’s award-winning albums, “Garden Dreams,” and “Men Don’t Cry”, are filled with original danceable piano works, the former CD underlying Sam Sanders’ spoken-word poetry by local authors, described as “Artful, touching, good grief of the best kind.” Keep your eyes peeled for another album in the works of original dance music set to Sam’s original poetry, and an accompanying book release of over 100 original tunes!
You can find them playing for English, contra, Scottish and many other dances when they aren’t dancing about themself. When not dancing (and sometimes while dancing!), Aaron works as an endangered-species botanist and wetland scientist in Vermont, and will delightedly share about all the cool plants of Pinewoods.
