● LIVE MUSIC by: "THE CONTRA BANDITOS" The Banditos were formed in the late 1980s when original band member Dan Fassett and two of his students decided to practice their craft at a contra dance in the First Parish Church in Groton MA. Those practice sessions evolved into the formation of the band. From a handful of fiddle members we have grown into a band with typically eight members who play fiddle banjo guitar piano mandolin whistle bass and percussion.
