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.
