Chopped Liver band
Nothing to wrinkle your nose up at, Chopped Liver is a local contra- and English country dance band whose repertoire includes a wide range of traditional and original tunes, performed in a lively and unique manner. Band members Michael Mendelson (fiddle), Suzanne Duffy (flute), Jeff Spero (piano), and Bill Flores (banjo, mandolin, dobro, tenor sax) have tight rhythms and a driving sound that will lift your spirits in exhilarating ways, bringing you closer to your dancing family and friends. You can have your fill of this Chopped Liver and keep wanting to come back for more!
Lindsay Verbil 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 “5 Things,” Lindsay brings together a tangible love for all facets of the dance experience.
