Pauline Sachar & Aron Dunlap: Storytelling, Writing & Music
Pauline Sachar, Aron Dunlap and their two daughters live in Chicago. Pauline teaches first grade and Aron is a professor of liberal arts at Shimer College. As Good Dust they play folk, blues, and children's tunes. Good Dust was born 'bout the turn of the millennium in Seattle. Aron Dunlap was playing in the super famous boy band Sidney and started to strum out some folky stuff on his own. Despite the urging petitions of friends and family he has kept on churning out tunes for the last decade or so. For the last few years Aron has been joined by his wife, Pauline Sachar. Good Dust's music features vocal harmonies, some fiddle, some guitar, maybe even a bit of harmonica. As teachers, Aron and Pauline take a lighthearted, exploratory approach to music and writing and look forward to making music in the great outdoors.
