If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution.

Live Music
Talisman Music is your contact point for music performances of several types. Here is a summary; follow the links for more information.
Talisman
Talisman has been producing its percolating blend of Celtic, American and original folk music for over a decade. The four-piece band features fiddle, flutes, hammered dulcimer, guitar and voice. Talisman has released two CDs, and is available to play for festivals, farmers markets, pubs, cafes, weddings and private parties.
Carl Thor
Carl Thor performs magic with the hammered dulcimer whether playing with a band or as a soloist. He also provides driving piano support for contra dance and English Country dance music.
Cascade Crossing
A relatively new band on the Pacific Northwest contra dance circuit, Cascade Crossing has already developed a reputation for their stylistic range, twin fiddle harmonies, and driving energy. And they can stop on a dime!
Hands4
Hands4 brings their high-energy music to contra dance halls throughout the Pacific Northwest. With almost all original music by band members in a wide variety of styles, Hands4 can truly say that what they deliver is “not your usual contra tunes.”
