In review of Marron's debut CD "Spring Rising" Classical Guitar magazine wrote that: "Guitarist James Marron's own pieces are impressively broad-ranging from spikily atonal, in the "Winter Scenes," to lush and lyrical in "For Suzanne."
Radio appearances include "Live at Hochstein" WXXI Rochester, N.Y., and "Not the Dead White Male Composer Series" WCLV in Cleveland, Ohio. Currently Marron is on the faculty of Ashland University and the University of Akron. He is a BMI affiliate composer.
