This is a band well worth coming for just to listen to the music. Go to https://stepwiseband.com to watch videos. Stepwise is a traditional Celtic folk band consisting of Liam Lewis (mandolin, guitar, fiddle, voice), and Olivia Breidenthal (fiddle and voice).
They perform a mixture of traditional Irish songs with tight vocal harmonies and traditional Irish tune sets. Olivia is a practitioner of the Galway fiddle style with influences including Kevin Burke, the Kane Sisters, and Liz Carroll.
Together, their instrumental arrangements feature intricate twin fiddles or groovy rhythm guitar fit for a traditional Ceili or the discerning ears of an Irish-enthusiast audience.
The caller is Chris Page, a special guest, who writes GREAT DANCES, which are enjoyed nationwide. Get ready for some fun Contra Dances he will walk you through Sunday night.
