You don't want to miss this one!!!
From New England comes Nor'easter - a three-person band with gale force tunes! They'll be accompanied by Chris Weiler (from New Hampshire) who will call dances for us!
As usual, the dance starts at 8:00 with a beginner lesson at 7:30pm.
Still at the Stuart Room in the Y-Center.
Still only $8 for 3 full hours of music and dancing! (correct change is appreciated).
Happy dancing!
Mark
=================================
Here's a bit more about the band:
About Noreaster
Nor'easter emerged in spring 2008 after Cedar, Max, and Julie played together at a Boston contra dance. Since then, the band increasingly brings their infectious rockin' danceability to dance floors throughout New England and beyond.
Cedar studied violin at the Crane School of Music and is equally at home with both traditional fiddle and classical violin. He has recorded and performed with the New York band Quickstep and currently studies violin making at the North Bennet Street School in Boston. His spirited, rhythmic playing and clear tone keep dancers on their feet.
Max has played traditional music widely at dances and sessions for most of his life, sharing the stage with a variety of dance musicians and traditional Irish musicians. His dynamic playing adds improvisatory punch and counterpoint to the band's sound.
Julie's roots are in classical, folk, and rock music, spending a number of years as a classical pianist and organist before being drawn to dance music. She has since studied with Mary Cay Brass, Rachel Aucoin, and Jacqueline Schwab, among others. A natural dance pianist, she anchors the band with driving rhythm and thoughtful harmonies.
Together, Nor'easter draws on Irish, Scottish, Quebecois, Cape Breton, and New England musical traditions to create an exciting, joyous sound for toe-tappin', feet-stompin', shoe-shufflin', heel-clickin', and booty-shakin'.
