The Crooked Path is a trio of superb musicians that love to play for contra dances in a variety of combinations up and down the East coast. They share a love of driving Irish reels, smooth and grooving jigs, barn-burning old time numbers, and the Mid-Atlantic dance scene in general. These three multi-instrumentalists combine to create a delightful variety of musical selections for your dancing pleasure. This band features Peter Subramanian on fiddle, banjo, and mandolin, Cecily Mills on cello and guitar, and Ben Kennedy on piano and accordion.
