Happy Spring, dear friends!
We've got 2 fun gigs coming right up. On Saturday, March 31,
we'll play a full evening of dance music at the historic Live Oak
Grange in Santa Cruz. Then on April 14, a long-awaited date (I think
we originally scheduled this show for 2009...) at Wisteria Ways, the
renowned and hugely popular Berkeley house concert series. Please
RSVP for this show as it will fill up fast. Hope you can join us!

“An innovative ensemble that explores a dizzying range of styles,
from Appalachia and Asia Minor to Eastern Europe. The quintet plays
swirling, hard-driving music that always seems to end up in
unexpected places.” SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
“They’re
a band to watch, with some sterling musicianship and a real
sense of fervor about them.” SING OUT!
