The BAND IS Sonoma Crossing Jeffrey Spero & Hayden Stern with Lindsay Verbil calling
Hayden Stern teaches orchestra at the Olympia Waldorf School and As a fiddler, composer, and community builder Hayden Stern (fiddle, guitar) has taken Seattle’s roots music scene by storm. Stern draws freely from multiple traditions, expanding his original base of Scottish fiddling to Irish, Scandinavian, French-Canadian, Appalachian, and beyond.
Jeffrey’s innovative keyboard rhythms are a distinctive part of many bands including Anvil Sky and Chopped Liver bands as well as Sonoma Crossing.
The caller: Lindsay Verbil: Lindsay 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.
Beginners are welcome, cherished even. No need to bring a partner. Come for the 5:45pm free lesson.We suggest newcomers dance with experienced dancers for the first few dances. It helps make if fun and easy for everyone! Dress for comfort. We recommend low or flat shoes that don’t stick.
