Sunday 1 October 2017
Sun 1 Oct, 11 am-7 pm. Two dances on Sunday, 11:00 am Advanced Contra Dance and 4 pm Regular Monthly Contra Dance.
Come dancing at GODS contra mini-weekend with the band Turnip the Beet and caller Andrea Nettleton.
Turnip the Beet is a dance band duo from Nashville, Tennessee. Rooted in the traditions of Southern Appalachia and their local contra dances, Kelsey Wells and Jeremy Lekich combine fiddle, banjo, guitar, percussion, and the occasional mbira in an innovative and jubilant musical harvest. Expect to hear an organic mix of eclectic tunes from the American South, Ireland, Cape Breton, Quebec, and Scandinavia, as well as a half-bushel of grooving, homegrown originals.
Andrea Nettleton, a caller from Atlanta, will keep you moving in a clear and confident way.
