The Burying Ground & East Van Jug Band - Blues Swing Dance

💃 Whether you're here for the music or here for the dancing (why not both?) it will be a night to remember! Arnt Arntzen will be back with the East Van Jug Band, visiting us from New York. There will be a free beginner dance lesson to kick of the night - come alone or bring your friends. ALL AGES. ⋆⋆☆✢❂❂❂✢☆⋆⋆ -- ✮ The East Van Jug Band ✮-- Clara Rose - Violin Jack Ray - Banjo Arnt Arntzen - Guitar & Banjo Jen Hodge - Bass The East Van Jug Band specializes in traditional jug band music. They play favourites and lesser-known selections by The Memphis Jug Band, Jelly Roll Morton, and other pioneers of 1920s Americana; as well as original music rooted in the tradition. This band blurs the lines between folk, country, jazz, ragtime, and chamber music, and has a blast while doing so! https://eastvanjugband.bandcamp.com/releases https://eastvanjugband.com/ ⋆⋆☆✢❂❂❂✢☆⋆⋆ -- ✮ The Burying Ground ✮-- Woody Forster - Guitar, Vocals Devora Laye - Washboard, Saw, Vocals Clara Rose - Violin Wynston Minckler - Upright Bass "Authentically delivered, rustic old-timey, country blues, and swinging jazz flecked, folk music... I will look forward to anything The Burying Ground offer up from here on in. While they may be devoted to the precious music of a long gone golden era, they still have an awful lot to offer the present and future, as music this good is evidently timeless." --David Morrison, Folk Radio UK ⋆⋆☆✢❂❂❂✢☆⋆⋆ 8:00 - Doors are open! 8:30 - Beginner dance lesson by Bex Winnick 9:30 to midnight - Music and Dance!
