They call it 'groove-based contradance fusion' but don't mistake this for a muddy hybrid. This is uniquely American music, no matter where the source material may come from. And those sources are wide and deep: Brazilian forro, West Virginia dances, Afro-Vermont pop, Quebecois tunes, a little sak and a whole lot more. And the musicians involved mean there is no doubt that they can pull off the toughest tricks with panache and not just a little bit of humor. Fiddler, songwriter, and producer Pete Sutherland, Jeremiah McLane on accordion and keyboards, drummer, vocalist and guitarist Lee Blackwell, and banjo and flute player Mark Roberts and Peter Davis, who plays clarinet, sax, piano, and guitar are joined by special guests Dave Grant (bass, banjo, ukelele) and Walter Blackwell (congas) .
