Dance, Music, & Song Camps
Playful, melodic, improvisatory, ear-tickling. Stringrays is one of the most popular contra dance bands anywhere. This is their first time altogether as a 5-piece at Pinewoods.
An inimitable dream team, the band brings together five of the most traveled, most appreciated, and most fun (and friendly) dance musicians around a shared interest in exploring great fiddle tunes. Their playing is fueled by a love of the living tradition of New England fiddle music and its cousins.
The band’s members have been involved with a roster of influential albums and bands, including New England Chestnuts, Airplang, Airdance, Wild Asparagus, Notorious, Tidal Wave, Hot Point Stringband, The Sevens, and Nor’easter. It’s a delight to feature this music at American Week.
