PASADENA, CA
Join in on our long-standing tradition of great bands, callers, dancers, food and fun.
A WEEKEND OF CONTRAS WITH
One of the hottest bands on the contra dance circuit, made up of two brothers, Andrew and Noah, and their mother, Kim Van Nordstrand. The brothers thoroughly deserve the title of "multi-instrumentalists", being deft players of more than twenty different instruments between them:
The GREAT BEAR TRIO
Andrew VanNorstrand, fiddle
Noah VanNorstrand, fiddle
Kim VanNorstrand, piano
Caller:
LISA GREENLEAF
Lisa Greenleaf delights dancers across the country with her high spirited, witty calling and is known for precise walk-throughs of zesty and flowing dances. Whether she is presenting New England contras, squares, or couple dances, Lisa engages the crowd with her humor and community spirit.
PLUS,
A band that is both traditional and unruly. They love a lot of styles, but are pretty firmly rooted in the tradition of fiddle tunes. They like to shake things up a bit, though, and will keep you guessing.
RUMBLESTRIP
Nat Hewitt, fiddle & guitar
Glen Loper, mando, banjo & percussion
Liza Constable, guitar, feet, out of control wailing
