Coreopsis:
The band Coreopsis, hailing from Lawrence, Kansas, took root in 2018. The three musicians: Whitney Baker (accordion), Lauralyn Bodle (fiddle), and Noah Musser (guitar, percussion), bring together intriguing and often complex melodies with irresistibly danceable rhythms. The band's repertoire incorporates influences from a wide swath of traditional music, including American old-time, Celtic jigs, French-Canadian reels, as well as a healthy dose of original compositions. Adaptable to any caller's plan, Coreopsis enjoys being able to provide the dance community with a solid groove, a lively performance and a positive presence that will stick with the listener long after the night is over.
