Wednesday, June 15th 10pm
AARON ROCHE is a composer, performer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer.

At National Sawdust, Aaron is presenting work from a new album entitled Haha Huhu which deals with the concepts of mental illness, loss, and their troublesome corollaries to western economies.
