Jonathan Playing at the Scout House Saturday
Jonathan will be joining "Emily Troll and Friends" to play the contra dance at the Concord Scout House this Saturday evening at 8pm.
Thanks to Emily for inviting Jonathan on this gig. Emily comes from the amazing Troll/Wright family, who are some of the first people we ever played contra music with. Parents Victor & Nell, and younger sister Phoebe are all contra musicians. We've learned some of our favorite tunes, such as Fairy Dance and Morrison's Jig, from them. And Victor has shared many contra piano tips with Jonathan.
One thing I've really appreciated about the folk music community is that other musicians have been so welcoming to us. Whether it's helping us find gigs, teaching us new tunes, or jamming, there's a real spirit of cooperation here that I haven't seen in other music circles.
