Registration - Prices and Forms for Summer Soirée 2009 - Asheville, NC's Hottest Contra Dance Weekend

The Morrison Brothers need no introduction to mid Atlantic contra dancers. The misleadingly named band features the legendary folk fiddler Jim Morrison and his two sons, guitarist Owen and percussionist Will. They have played for contra, square and Irish set dancing since Owen was 15. They have a hot southern style all their own, just perfect for the upbeat Summer Soirée crowd. These accomplished musicians are great fans of traditional music are known for their ability to express the subtleties of a breadth of traditions from Western Ireland to West Virginia. However, with the band's characteristic drum set and electric guitar, the Morrison Brothers often incorporate bits of rock, blues and swing to create a hot southern style perfect for our cool Appalachian evenings. Listen to the Morrison Brothers.

Magic Foot, AKA The Hot Boy Band Magic Foot, who have been called “the hot boy band of contra dancing,” will wow Summer Soirée dancers with inventive, high-energy sets. Though the music they make is firmly rooted in an Irish tradition, these accomplished musicians draw inspiration from diverse sources —from French accordion players to James Brown. The result is a unique sound that lifts the dancers’ feet from the floor. Chris Stevens (button accordion) Colin Lindsay (fiddle, concertina) Brendan Taafe (guitar, feet, vocals) and guest percussionist. Magic Foot on Myspace Brendan Taafe
