(1) VCD dance May 20
Think you'll need a toque and gloves? NOT!??You'll be steaming with Bellingham's Sub-Zero Glitter Fridge (Bell Cayley Schmid on fiddle, Sam Vogt on guitar, and David Pender Lofgren on bodhran).
Seattle's David Kreiss-Tomkin's calling will keep the temperature HOT!
?
Band:
Sub-Zero Glitter Fridge - The only name that so far has dared to attempt defining this mysterious trio of Bellingham-based Celtic music investigators. Simultaneously frosty and electrified, darkling and dazzling, SZGF provides reliable, prolonged music that is unquestionably necessary and yet a little more luxury than you thought you needed. Guaranteed to take up lots of valuable floorspace, store cake and ice cream responsibly, and play fiddle, guitar, and bodhran (now with higher emissions).
?
Caller: David Kreiss-Tomkins
David fell in love with contra at the age of 11 on a mountainous island in Alaska. He began calling in Ohio and seeks out dances that emphasize the joy of connection. He values active consent, knows that the music and the dancers are the heart of an evening, and is testing his theory that contra is the gateway to a contract with the New York City Ballet.
