David has been playing at contra and family dances since the 1980’s in Northern New England. The repertoire includes dance tunes from Appalachia to Eastern Canada, the British Isles and Northern Europe. From upbeat reels and jigs to more relaxed waltzes and slow airs, there’s something for everyone.
