Tickets Available Here and At the Door!

Northwoods is a Boston-based band that brings a seamless blend of unstoppable groove, infectious melodies, and boundless energy to the dance floor. Featuring Casey Murray on guitar and cello, Molly Tucker on fiddle, and Sam Zakon-Anderson on piano, the band approaches contra dance music with a balance of tradition and innovation. They have found that their styles intertwine effortlessly, creating a groove that keeps dancers engaged from the first downbeat to the final note of the night.

Steve has been calling contras for over 40 years. He enthusiastically embraces the role of facilitator aiding the joyful connection between the music on the stage and the dancers on the floor. Steve is appreciated by dancers for his skill at programming the right dances for the hall, for his clear and efficient teaching, and for his sense of humor, and is appreciated by dance bands for his considerate weaving of his calling with their music.
