Airdance brings together some of the greats of the contra dance music scene and is known for playing exquisite waltzes as well. Acclaimed fiddler Rodney Miller brings his unique blend of traditional New England fiddling with his own virtuoso swing, jazz, and other diverse influences. Elvie Miller contributes driving and spunky rhythm and energy on piano and accordion. Owen Morrison , adding a hot southern influence with his flatpick and rhythm guitar and mandolin, plays with Nightwatch, Elixir, The Figments, House Red and Morrison Brothers Band. Mark “Pokey” Hellenberg is said by some to be the greatest percussionist in contra music. A legend in these parts for his many years with Hotpoint String Band, Pokey also plays with Reckless Ramblers, the Sevens and Wild Asparagus. This skillful group of musicians provides a dynamic and exciting sound sure to make this weekend one of the best! Hot Club of Derbytown hails from Louisville, and is one of the region’s top contra dance and swing bands, having thrilled dancers at weekends and local contra dances all over the area. Tom Cunningham on fiddle, Blue ‘Bleu’ Murphy on bass, and Jim ‘Django’ Webb on guitar produce a driving rhythm and zesty mix of old-time, Celtic, French Canadian, modern contra and original tunes, as well as the occasional red-hot gypsy melody and swing number, to keep dancers screaming for more! Seth Tepfer is “Atlanta’s Dance Magician,” known for his infectious energy, his short walkthroughs, and his “hash-contras”. Seth’s warm enthusiasm is contagious and gets everyone moving, smiling, and having a great time. Whether squares, contras, or other folk dances, you can be certain that all involved will amble away happy and eager to dance more! Kate Power,Columbus’ hometown caller, delights in collecting exciting new dances during road trips to some of her favorite dance communities. Zesty contras, mind-bending end effects, and exuberant squares are enhanced by her clear, concise walk-throughs. As happy calling as she is dancing, she believes she lives in the best of both worlds!
