Aaron comes to us from a variety of musical backrounds such as:
musical
theater, a symphony orchestra choir, rock bands, and singing at
weddings, to name a few. Aaron is a founding member of RLE and is
forever grateful for the opportunity to work with such talented
musicians as RLE. Previously, Aaron performed in several community
musical theater productions and sang for several seasons with the
Milwaukee Symphony Chorus. Later, he sang with Hands Down, an
energetic
rock band that saw its heyday in the early 2000's. Aaron also
sings for
family and friends at weddings and funerals.
musical influences
The primary musical influences in Aaron's life are his mother,
Iris, who
has always had music by her side (particularly Motown), and Kate
Windorski, the dynamic and award-winning music teacher at Riverside
University High School, who coached and befriended Aaron from high
school onward until she was lost to us after many long and
courageous
battles with cancer. She will be forever missed and always
remembered.
Also important was Dave Kristiansen, friend and fellow Hands Down
musician who was lost to us in a tragic car accident. Without the
support and encouragement and expertise of these people, Aaron
would
likely be singing (only) in karaoke bars.
