On today's episode, I talk to musician Arone Dyer. Originally
from Willmar, Minnesota, Arone began writing songs in high school
and even won a contest to perform at the Minneapolis Lilith Fair
when she was 18-years-old. But soon after, she developed carpal
tunnel syndrome and had to give up playing guitar for many years.
After moving to New York, where she took up work as a luthier and
bicycle mechanic, Arone met Aron Sanchez, and the two eventually
formed the group Buke and Gase, which is named after the
instruments they created to play in the band. In the last 13 years,
the two have released nine albums and EPs, as well as a documentary
about performing live during the first summer of the pandemic. Most
recently, Arone recorded a collaboration with the European
classical-contemporary ensemble, s t a r g a z e, entitled,
appropriately, Arone x s t a r g a z e, and it is out now via
Transgressive Records!
