March is giving us an extra weekend to dance!!
The 5th Saturday series, on March 30, will feature a terrific trio, including Oliver Scanlon on fiddle & mandolin, Eric McDonald on guitar and Jeremiah McLane on piano and accordion.
Eric and Jeremiah are two-thirds of the nationally touring band Kalos and both have been playing for contra dances for decades. Eric is also in demand as a backup musician for some of the best Irish and Scottish musicians in the country, and has played in the contradance band Matching Orange. Jeremiah is well known for his playing over many years with the popular dance bands Nightingale, The Clayfoot Strutters and Fresh Fish. Oliver was a founding member of the traveling band Pete's Posse and is currently playing in a newer band, Stove Dragon. Simply put.....this group of musicians will be great!
Steve Zakon-Anderson will be teaching and calling for the evening, providing a mixed program of dances for all to enjoy.
