George Marshall with the Faux Paws
Polish Hall, 3832 N. Interstate Avenue
7 pm for newcomer/refresher lesson, 7:30 pm for dancing
George Marshall, of the well-known contra dance band Wild Asparagus, is teaming up with Faux Paws for this special Tuesday night dance. George Marshall was introduced to square and contra dancing in the early ‘70s while working as a summer trail crew volunteer in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. George’s specialty is teaching and calling the New England-style contra dances he has collected throughout the country. He is renowned for his knack of matching music to dance and for his smooth, concise teaching and presentation.
A Faux Paws live show is an explosive roller coaster ride that brings the audience along. Virtuosity on the fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and saxophone, sure, but you can also expect vulnerability, personal lyrics, tight 3-part brother harmonies, playful interplay, intricately arranged details, and soaring improvisations.
