Rage Potatoes Wants You! 🥔❤️

Join the Open Band

What began as the Pic’d Up Orchestra at PICD in 2017 has grown into Portland, Maine’s mega open band, playing everywhere! It’s now 🥔 Rage Potatoes!

An open band is everyone’s opportunity to play music on stage for live contra dancers.

  • Anyone with an instrument at any level of ability and confidence can join. In fact, an open band is at its best when a wide array of instruments are represented. There is room for total beginners!

  • Experienced musicians lead melody and rhythm.

Rage Potatoes is conducted by Fearless Leader, Emily Troll! She coordinates practice parties, picks tunes, books gigs, and conducts at gigs.

It’s the warmest, fuzziest thing. Join in!
