Becky Tracy and Rachel Bell are a powerhouse Celtic, contra dance, and bal folk duo, here joined by a star backup player, Bethany Waickman. As Eloise &Co they criss-cross the continent playing for concerts, dance events, festivals, and workshops.
Raised in the cradle of Vermont’s Green Mountains, Mary Wesley started calling in 2008 and keeps a full schedule, which includes gigs up and down both coasts. Mary loves to share her infectious joy for traditional dancing with dancers of all ages and she has something to offer every crowd.
