SUMMARY:Special Contra Dance: Beregovsky’s All Stars + Joe Micheals
DESCRIPTION:This dance is part of the 2026 Bellingham Folk Festival! \n \nTime: 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm \nBeginner lesson: 7:00 pm – 7:30 pm \nWorkshop: 6pm – 7pm: Swing and its Flourishes + Mad Robin \nLocation: Christ the King (Norway Hall) 1419 N Forest St. \nEntry: \nBeginner lesson + dance $12-$15; $8 students\nWorkshop: $10 or $20 for whole evening; Students: $8 or $15 for whole evening \nBand: Seattle Klezmer rhythm makers: Beregovski’s All Stars with Jimmy Austin (of local legendary folk gypsy band “Hot Damn Scandal”) on trombone\, W.B. Reid on guitar\, Laurie Andres on accordion\, and Carl Shutoff on clarinet. \nCaller: Putting joy in traditional dance\, we have Seattlite Joe Micheals. Or is it Michael or Micheel or Mikael or Mitchel. No no\, it’s Micheal. I dare say we’re getting the hang it . \n\nBeregovski’s All Stars: \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Jimmy Austin\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Carl Shutoff\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Laurie Andres\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				W.B.Reid\n				\n			\n		\n\nJimmy Austin: inherited both his name and his first trombone from his paternal grandfather. He began seriously exploring klezmer music about five years ago\, when he joined the band Shpilkis. In addition to playing klezmer\, Jimmy performs with many other groups around the Pacific Northwest playing various combinations of funk\, jazz\, soul\, and blues. He occasionally performs with circus and theatre productions such as the award-winning musical\, Dragon Lady. \nCarl and Laurie: “Carl Shutoff (clarinet in C) and Laurie Andres (accordion) constitute the Kesselgarden Klezmer Duo in Seattle\, WA\, where we have been playing together for the last 22 years. Our name comes from the way Yiddish-speaking Jews pronounced “Castle Garden”\, the facility on the southern tip of Manhattan where Jewish immigrants entered this country prior to the opening of Ellis Island in 1892.  Among first and second generation Jews\,  the term Kesselgarden was eventually generalized to mean any situation that was noisy\, confusing and chaotic. We are a traditional band\, playing Eastern European instrumental Jewish/Yiddish music of the 19th and 20th centuries\, with original\, sweet and joyful arrangements which are neither noisy nor confusing.”  \nJoe Micheals \n  \n
