Playing with Fyre and Supertrad
​
Housing options: Most of our dancers live 30+ minutes from the dance, If you are willing to stay that far away reach out and we will see what we can do. We have looked into a group rate at a local motel, but the prices you can get using an online booking site are better than any deal we were offered.
Featured Performers
Sam Bartlett and three other players- Eric Schedler, Dave Langford, and Owen Morrison for the event. ​​This band makes your dancing so easy to do. Their phrasing, moods, modes and tempos invite you in. Supertrad parties with you on this thing they create, this rolling ocean of motion, the sonic potion. Sam Bartlett and Eric Schedler are center, a tour de force of traditional Irish music on accordion and banjo, two friends from Bloomington, Indiana, who have played tunes with each other nearly every week for 15 years.
Then there is the frenzy, caress and the pounding of Dave Langford’s fiddle. Dave is from the heart of contraland, outer Boston, and has circumnavigated our beloved dance world for most of his adult life. On the other side, the band is complimented and counterpointed by the wild THRUM of Owen Morrison’s guitar, accompanied by Owen Morrison’s foot percussion, and also Owen Morrison playing guitar solos, like the 4th, 5th, and 6th member of a four piece band.
What the dancer said to them, after that last dance “when you play like that, I need to smoke a cigarette afterwards.” This band…. so TRAD and so SUPER, and they cannot wait to play for YOU..
