“Aaron O’Rourke makes a mountain dulcimer do things it shouldn’t be able to do.”
-St. Petersburg Times
“Aaron, I love how your hair has all these cow licks. It looks like a cow just made out with your head.”
-Casey Carron
from the physical therapy place
“Utilizing a unique acoustic blend never heard previously, the Aaron O’Rourke Trio has made a fine debut recording that is sure to please old and new grass fans alike.”
-David Grisman

“Aaron O’Rourke is not yet cool enough to talk about himself in third person.”
-Aaron O’Rourke
“Aaron is only one discovery away from making his mark on, not just the dulcimer scene, but the national music scene.”
-Dan Landrum
Editor of Dulcimer Players News
“His stage name should be Eeyore.”
-Mirelle Packer
“Aaron O'Rourke is quite possibly the coolest guy in the world. Women swoon when he walks by and leaves behind the essence of pure suaveness that is very much a part of Aaron. When he is not enjoying a fine day on his private beach outside of his multi-million dollar mansion, you can usually find Aaron at the gym lifting weights of at least 300 lbs or more (one arm). So how could this king of cool possibly be any more smooth you might ask? He also just happens to be an ok dulcimer player.”
-Unicoi Dulcimer Festival
