Aidan has been making music in various forms for over 20 years. That’s about as long as he’s had an intense distaste for the pressure to play pristine, pitch-perfect, sellable songs.

His favorite venue in the whole world has been his grandmother’s kitchen table. Is art valuable if it never leaves the kitchen table?

He enjoys being unknown and unpaid as an artist. It gives total creative and performative freedom. He chose the moniker “Andy Circus” because it is almost impossible to find him on Google—you find Andy Serkis instead, the motion-capture actor who played Gollum and King Kong.

He is honored and excited to participate in Rise Up ‘26 and is located in Lock Haven, PA.
