Andy Eggleston, fiddler and violist, has performed extensively in a wide variety of genres and venues. As a violist, she has backed jazz greats Charlie Haden and Michael Brecker at Carnegie Hall, opened for k.d. lang at Boston's Fleet Center Pavilion and appeared live on Japanese television with Japanese pop star Ken Hirai. As a violinist, she has taken her fiddle on the road with the Three Irish Divas, performed for the closing of the Frida Kahlo exhibit at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art, and has been a member of ensembles that range in genre from trip-hop to contra dance. Originally from the Boston area, Andy received her B.M. in viola performance from Berklee College of Music. More recently, she has studied fiddle with Chad Manning (David Grisman Bluegrass Experience), and joined up with jamgrass band Outband. And, of course, she has been playing for contra and English country dances around the Bay area for several years now with the Raggedy Annes (Charlie Hancock and Anne Goess) and other lovely local musicians. |

Bill Jensen has been enjoying English Country dancing since 1984, and has played piano for dances since 1997. He plays frequently at dances throughout the Bay Area and is the lead house musician for the BACDS Peninsula ECD series. Bill particularly enjoys working closely with callers to provide musical backup for teaching dances. He's done many Fall Ball workshops and we're proud to have this year for both the workshop and the Ball. |

Music has always been a comfortable second language for Erik Ievins. Classically trained on cello since he was old enough to hold a bow, Erik joined professional symphony and pops orchestras while still in high school. He discovered the joy of fiddle music (on a cello!) and has been delighting dancers around the country. With a gift to hear what's missing and add just the right touch, Erik's versatility is highly sought after on stage or in the recording studio improvising for songwriters. Along with his cello magic and bass exuberance, he's an avid dancer and sound tech. |
