Upcoming and Past Events

Contra Dance, Saturday January 4th 2020

Joe Michaels

calling to

Kate Powers and David Rivers

Joe Michaels has called at numerous dances, parties, and classes throughout the Pacific Northwest, California, and Canada. He particularly enjoys seeing people who have never participated before, dancing within a couple of minutes. He is always happy to discuss the fellowship and community building aspects of traditional dance.

And, as always he’ll do a free beginner/refresher workshop at 7:00 just before the dance.

Kate Powers and David Rivers electrify our stage every time we have them. So we’re very fortunate to have them to start off our season.

Kate’s fiddle, has an energy and excitement that takes the fun of dancing to a higher level. David’s guitar is so driving and full that the two of them seem like more than two. If you only come to listen to awesome music, come to this dance, but don’t be surprised if they inspire you to start dancing anyway.

calling to

Sweater Weather String Band

They are, in order of height: Adam Amr, Colin Schmidt, Richard Vinh, Will Jevne, Joey Gish, and Collin McAvinchey, and sometimes other people too. They play a mix of old-time, honky-tonk, and celtic music, and sometimes other stuff too. They live all around the Salish Sea and they love knitwear. Someone once said our music sounds like “the frolicking of sheep before a thunderstorm”, and they thought that summed it up well.
