BLUEGRASSS AND SQUARE/CONTRA DANCE at the MUSE in Rosendale

The Muse Rosendale presents an evening of high-energy bluegrass music and old-time New England-style square/contra-dancing, with New Breaks and caller Eric Hollman on Saturday, March 22 at 7pm.

The first hour of the event will feature a performance by Hyde Park’s New Breaks (David Chernack on guitar and fiddle, Frank Kara on mandolin, Gary DiGiovanni on banjo, and Jim Sullivan on bass). New Breaks has been active in the Hudson Valley bluegrass scene for over a decade, and are known for their powerful vocal harmonies, driving instrumentals, and high-energy rhythms. With an eye to modern bluegrass while remaining firmly rooted in the classics of the genre, this is a performance not to be missed.

The second hour will feature a contra/square dance featuring caller Eric Hollman. Eric is an extremely experienced caller who will lead attendees in dances for all ages and skill levels. Backed up with live fiddle tunes from New Breaks, this dance is a great introduction to contra and square dancing.
