January 4th Contradance
We'll kick off the New Year on January 4th with a contradance featuring music by Eleemosynary and Casey Mullaney calling.
Eleemosynary members are all local musicians, led by Peter Blue on nyckelharpa and accordion. Other members are Carol Mandigo playing guitar and Danny Birnbaum on bass.
Each of the musicians plays with other area bands but as Eleemosynary, they play traditional and new contra dance music, with emphasis one tunes composed by Peter Blue.
And in keeping with the nane of the band, a portion of their proceeds from each performance is donated to a local charity
Casey began her calling career while attending Hartwick College and has expanded her experience to other dances in the upstate NY area. Since leaving the area, she has continued her interest in contradancing and with her friendly calling manner and clear instructions, we're happy to welcome her back to our dance!
Have a happy New Year...hope to see you Friday!
