Special Friday night dance, sneak preview of one of the 2014 Corvallis Contra Weekend bands: The Syncopaths: The Syncopaths have been playing, jamming and enjoying music together since 2003. They are Ashley Broder – Mandolin; Ryan McKasson – fiddle; Christa Burch – vocals, bodhrán; Jeffrey Spero, keyboard.
Our caller for the evening will be William Watson. We’re extremely fortunate that William calls Eugene home, so we get the pleasure of his calling without the effort to bring him from afar.
