Contra: Great Bear Trio w/ George Marshall @ Dunn School, Eugene
Nov 17 @ 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm

Brothers Andrew and Noah Van Norstrand have played for contra dances for more than a decade. Yes, they started touring before graduating high school. They’re both “married old men” in their 20s now, but still enjoy touring with their mom, Kim Yerton, playing for dances from coast to coast. This trio visits us all the way from New York. Dancing to their music will definitely be worth your while!
Caller George Marshall returns to Eugene, bringing these fine musicians.

Birch Pereira & The Gin Joints @ Unitarian Fellowship

Birch Pereira and the Gin JointsBirch Pereira
&
The Gin Joints

Born out of a love of the early years of swing, country and rock ‘n ‘roll, Birch Pereira & the Gin Joints is a band whose sound transports you to the time of speakeasies, honkey tonks and rock ‘n’ roll joints. With upright bassist and vocalist Birch Pereira at its center, the band features Jason Goessl on acoustic guitar and Adrian Van Batenburg on drums, some of Seattle’s most skilled and versatile musicians who share the love of the American song traditions and a desire to offer a fresh angle on them.

This concert celebrates their debut album release, and there will be space in the hall for swing dancing.
