KC & the Moonshine Band
KC & the MooNshine Band is led by Karen Celia Heil on fiddle. They play rip-snorting American fiddle tunes, and a waltz or two as breathers. Heil currently works as a guitarist, singer, and fiddler with the Bucking Mules and plays with many other notable old-time musicians, performing and teaching at camps and festivals all over, and has played many a dance at Ashkenaz.
Robin Fischer
Robin Fischer is a musician, square dance caller, and in-demand fiddle teacher based in Berkeley. She loves calling for both new and experienced dancers, and has lead square dances at Ashkenaz, the Neibyl Proctor Marxist Library (Oakland's regular Friday night dances), Amnesia, FiddleKids day camp, and just about anywhere live fiddle and banjo music happens to be.
Darling Clementine Old Time Music and Dance
Clementine String Band is a group of musicians and dancers that plays public and private performances and hosts a weekly old-time music jam. The large group includes fiddler Jerry Bonafir, guitarist Todd Tholke, fiddler Nansamba Ssensalo, fiddler-banjo player Michael Small, Max Lopez on bass and mandolin, guitarist Aaron Hammerman, banjo player Katelyn Kimmons and guitarist Susan Sullivan. For this show they are joined by mandolinist Rowan McCallister.
Mike Lewinski
Mike Lewinski has called dances and played old-time music for many a year now. A passionate professional teacher and craftsman, and an ex-world traveling tattooed hobo busking extrovert, he will lead the infectious fun. All dances taught; no experience needed.
