OUR TALENT:
Sassafras Stomp is Johanna Davis on fiddle and Adam Nordell on guitar, feet, and mouth. They're a nationally acclaimed band not just because their music is a compelling mix of the modern and traditional, both grounding dancers and elevating dancers at once, but also because they're kind, awesome people. They'll be rocking our evening.
Check 'em out at http://sassafrasstomp.com/

Dugan Murphy, Contra Dance Caller, is the acclaimed caller who brought you neon t-shirts, raucous pants, and hundreds of fun dance experiences across the U.S. He'll be teaching half the night, and excitedly introducing Dela Taylor, a brand-spankin' new caller. She'll teach the other half of the night, and may or may not wear raucous pants.

AND AFTER:
Join us from 10 p.m. 'til close for snacks and drinks just down the street at LFK (188A State St in Longfellow Square). All ages welcome!
