Casey Murray is a multi-instrumentalist performer, composer, and educator who finds creative joy collaborating in musical conversation. Playing for contra dancing with bands Calico, Northwoods, and Nobody’s Business, Casey delights dancers with an irresistible groove on cello and guitar. They also tour with their folk duo Casey Murray & Molly Tucker. They have put out multiple records with the band Corner House and released their debut Casey & Molly album in 2022.

In their words, “playing for dancing feels like being a part of something bigger. A collaboration in a moment of time between dancer, musician, and caller.”
