THE ELKS LODGE, Downtown Grass Valley 109 South School St. Grass Valley, CA 95945 12PM-3PM :: 12PM-1PM Warm-up Class w/ JENNIFER HOLLAND 1PM-3PM DRUMSPYDER 3PM... CHARLIE MARIE landing us home… $20 at the door See you on the dance floor! :: DRUMSPYDER Weaves a web of percussive rhythm, melody, and line. Framedrums, tamborines, and low whistles mingle with bass beats and ethereal atmospheres, bringing the Celtic and British Islands traditional music into vital contemporary expression. Scott Sterling has always followed the path of rhythm. Over the course of a long journey through diverse forms of drumming and dance music: avant-garde circus, slinky bellydance troupes, and acclaimed bass-music productions, the one constant has been the beat of the drum. Over the past several years he has specialized in the realm of framedrums and tamborines. Influenced by modern framedrum masters and inspired by the rhythms of the Irish bodhran, he follows a distinctive path through the world of contemporary percussion: fusing his experience with cross-cultural framedrum techniques and Arabic rhythms with his love of Celtic and medieval dance music. To this rhythmic foundation he adds traditional melodies drawn from the folk music of Ireland, Scotland, and England , as well as the rich repertoire of Medieval and Renaissance music from the British Isles. Out of the alchemy of rhythm, melody, and his long experience in dance music production, he has forged a unique approach to musical fusion, where elements of trance, bass-heavy electronica, and ethereal atmospheres mingle into an intoxicating brew. His overall ambition is to connect traditional rhythms, drumming and melodies with the contemporary dancefloor. https://youtu.be/QZSjbGKdS3I :: JENNIFER HOLLAND Masterful movement therapist and sensual embodiment expert.
