SPAGA ft. Aaron Magner of The Disco Biscuits

The Disco Biscuits’ Aron Magner unplugs his formidable stack of keyboard gadgetry with his band, SPAGA—a project that takes his 30-plus year musical journey full circle, back to where it all began: the piano. Best known for trailblazing the fusion of jam-rock and electronica with The Disco Biscuits, Magner returns to his jazz upbringing in this mostly acoustic trio. SPAGA showcases his expressive grand piano stylings, elevated by the organic immediacy and interplay of upright bass and drums, featuring prominent Philadelphia-based jazz musicians Jason Fraticelli (bass) and Matt Scarano (drums). SPAGA is known for dynamic live performances that move seamlessly from soulful melodies to explosive improvisation. With roots in jazz tradition and a spirit of musical exploration, each show is a unique journey, speaking to jazz heads and jam band fans alike. In addition to their original material, SPAGA has recently been performing their piano forward interpretations of Grateful Dead songs through the lens of jazz, instrumental storytelling, and improvisational depth. They will be releasing a new SPAGA Plays Dead album in the fall of 2025.
