Aaron Burlbaw, Guest Musician–We are happy to announce the return of Aaron Burlbaw to “The Endless Forest Nutcracker.” Aaron will provide pre-show entertainment and offer his CDs for sale–we’re thrilled to have his beautiful music as part of our show again this year!

“Spanish Guitars and Percussive Grooves” tends to be the realm for guitarist Aaron Burlbaw. With Burlbaw’s Nuevo-flamenco (non-traditional flamenco) techniques, he delivers a Spanish and Latin blend of music, while also fusing elements from Jazz and Rock. Burlbaw has been performing for 13 years in the Midwest area. He fronts his all-instrumental Latin Jazz group Acoustik Element and supports Autumns Child and Farshid Etniko with their “world music” ensembles. Last December Burlbaw produced Acoustik Element’s 16 song Christmas CD which takes the audience on a holiday ride with sounds of the Spanish guitar. For more information please visit www.AcoustikElement.com.
