ANVIL SKY band
Featuring Frank Hoppe on fiddle and Laura Osborne on flute and Jeffrey Spero on piano
Anyone who has danced before to any or all of these musicians knows how spectacular each one of them is.
Frank Hoppe began his radio career at Reed College in the early 1970s, although he admits his tastes have evolved since then.
He joined Los Angeles-area station KCSN in 1984, doing a weekly folk show.
Frank lives in the Los Angeles area and enjoys playing fiddle for dances, kitchen junkets, farmerās markets, and wineries.
Laura Osborne is a flute professor at UCLA.
Laura holds degrees in Flute Performance from Eastman School of Music
Jeffrey Spero has toured around the country playing concerts, festivals, and dances. From Celtic to Americana, Jeffrey can be heard with bands such as Syncopaths, Rhythm Raptors, Anvil Sky, and Lift Ticket.
Ā Our caller is LINDSAY VERBIL
Ā LindsayĀ is a caller whose warmth, enthusiasm, and clarity empower dancers to feel capable, confident, and connected to the music and to each other.
Her teaching style is focused and precise, while her good humor and sense of fun create a welcoming and joyful space.
A dancer herself, as well as a musician, organizer, and co-host of the web series ā5 Things,ā Lindsay brings together a tangible love for all facets of the dance experience.
