Winter to Spring, 2018

We are waking this blog from its long slumber to mention a few upcoming events and opportunities.

First, just two weeks from today we (including our buddy, caller Ted Hodapp) will be in the middle of another long weekend in the D.C. region. We'll be playing the Friday night contra in the Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo Park (check our Dances page for links and details), the Shepherdstown Contra Dance on Saturday night and both the afternoon Waltz Time and evening contra dance at Glen Echo on Sunday.

From April 13-15 we will be the "local" band for the Call of the Loon weekend at Tapestry in Minneapolis, along with the mighty Elixer and callers Ted Hodapp and Lisa Greenleaf. This is always a great weekend and I think there are still a few spots left.

On Sunday afternoon June 3 we will be playing from 4-7 in the lovely courtyard of the Courtyard & Cellar in charming Decorah, IA. This will be a family-friendly "picnic and a pint" event, bring the kids or just come and enjoy the relaxed setting.

Finally, many of the readers of this blog probably already know that Patrice Pakiz, our piano, oboe and percussion player, is a member of Laura MacKenzie's fabulous band Brass Lassie. If, however,  this is your first time hearing about this group you should check them out and consider supporting their Indiegogo CD fundraiser. You'll be glad you did!

If you are able to hear us at one of these upcoming gigs please stop and say hello. We are really looking forward to playing some tunes and hope we'll see you around.
