David Kaynor (fiddle) is well known for contra dance music & calling, but also has a secret love for playing English music.  Liz Stell (flute) and Bill Matthiesen (piano) are talented and versatile dance musicians, playing everything from Civil War era tunes to tangos. All three appear on various recordings.  Based in Western Massachusetts, the band is a regular at the Dance Flurry and has played for contra and English Country dances throughout the Northeast US and Canada.
