| No one can bring dancers into the trance zone like these superb musicians. Hailing from the Midwest, the band consists of clawhammer banjo legend Hilarie Burhans; inspired improvisational fiddler Mark Burhans; the king of contradance percussion, Mark "Pokey" Hellenberg; wall-of-rhythm pianist Marlene Shostak; and, keeping everybody well-grounded, bassist Nick Weiland.

This group of young New England musicians combine their enormous talents into a rich, energizing wall of sound, using both traditional repertoire and original compositions to create versatile, driving music for our dancing pleasure. Kathleen Fownes (Fiddle), Guillaume Sparrow-Pepin (Accordion and Piano) and Everest Witman (Guitar and Feet) will rock our dance hall!

"Atlanta's Dance Magician" skillfully connects hearts, soles, and music. He calls dances like you've never seen before. Known for his infectious energy, short walk-throughs, and 'hash-contras', Seth's enthusiasm is contagious, and gets everyone moving, smiling, and having a great time. |
