Written as an homage to the land and farm of his great-grandparents in South Dakota, cellist Aaron Kerr composed the songs on Union County Forever with charming instrumental vignettes in mind. Taking a break from his usual work with rock bands and experimental/avant-garde projects, Aaron got together with collaborators Jeff Crandall and Mike Nordby to create more traditional, folk arrangements to reflect the rural American Gothic style of life in the midwest. The group made its debut by performing in an old church built by Aaron's great-grandfather in Union County, South Dakota.
