I got to play with Rufous (Melissa Coffey on fiddle, whistles, and spaceship, Nick Leininger on guitar, and me on fiddle) at Emerald City Contra Dance on Friday, January 24th, 2025.

Elisabeth Monica called, with Campbell Glass guest calling the 2nd dance! Forrest Carroll was on sound.

This was Rufous’ 2nd time playing at ECCD (3rd time playing overall; our other gig was Erik and Clarissa’s gorgeous wedding).
