About the Dance Callers:
Robin Fischer is a fiddler and square dance caller based in Berkeley, CA. Her fiddling is rooted in old-time, bluegrass, and country styles. She calls square dances in the traditional style - no lessons, no levels, no prerecorded music, just a live band and emphasis on everyone having a good time.
Banjo player, singer, songwriter, percussive-dancer, choreographer and square-dance caller, Evie Ladin has always been surrounded by music – credit to her upbringing as daughter of an international folk dance teacher, and an old-time folk music devotee, she grew up thinking that playing music, dancing, singing with others was what people do. Evie’s performances, recordings and teaching reconnect Appalachian music/dance with other African-Diaspora traditions, and have been heard from A Prairie Home Companion to Lincoln Center, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass to Celtic Connections.
