This year's Lady of the Lake Fall weekend features some of the best of the West!
| The Syncopaths are a vibrant new band from California and Seattle featuring Ryan McKasson on fiddle, Jeff Spero on keyboard, Christa Burch on bodhrán and vocals, and Bill Flores on mandolin, banjo, and guitar. This energetic and inventive quartet offers a fresh contemporary take on Celtic music. All of these musicians are highly regarded in the Celtic music community, and together they make joyous and groove-driven music guaranteed to make you want to stand up and dance! |  |
| Calling with The Syncopaths will be Susan Michaels from California.
Susan has been calling contras, squares, and family dances for 18 years and has toured extensively
throughout the western United States. We're delighted to have her back at Lady of the Lake. Susan
offers contemporary and traditional dances that are smooth and interesting, always with the
emphasis on flow to complement the music. She is known for her dry, quirky humor and quick,
no-nonsense teaching style. |
| Woody Lane hails from Roseburg in southwest Oregon and has been calling dances for more than 25 years. Describing his role, Woody says, "I try to convey the feeling that this dance, this evening, this event with friends, is the very best place to be in the world." He brings a special community feeling with him wherever he calls. Woody calls smooth contras and high-energy squares as well as some delightful chestnuts. |

Playing with Woody will be our own Out of the Wood. For the first time, we will not have to get up very early to hear this fine band. For the last 6 years Out of the Wood has played for over 150 contra dances in the Pacific Northwest with Kathy Bowman on fiddle, Vickie Marron on piano, and Pat Marron on mandolin, fiddle and banjo. The band slogan is "We make your feet happy!" We think you'll agree. Their reputation is spreading well beyond our corner of the world. With Woody Lane calling with Out of the Wood, you'll have no trouble reaching that dancer "high"! |
