By that caller’s solliloquy\, we shan’t be silly really\, but our souls will lilt merrily\, it is a revelry as we dock at Fairhaven for our dance\, you see\, it is elegant\, deep as the eyes of gypsy. \nEntry: $12-$15; $8 students (by donation) \n\nMore about the band and caller:\n \nWild Rosin \nWild Rosin: Elise Snoey on fiddle\, Rosie O’Neil on guitar\, and Claire Furtwangler on Cello \nElisabeth Monica \nElisabeth Monica:  Elisabeth fell in love with contra dancing with as a child.

From Olympia\, WA \nCaller: From Seattle we have Isaac Banner \nEntry: $12-$15; $8 students (by donation) \n\nMore about the band and caller: \nDear Crow: \nPenka Jane began playing fiddle as a child and has been singing since she first heard the radio. Her forthright and emotive fiddle playing pulls the listener along the journey of every tune\, and since she began songwriting in earnest in 2018 she’s become known for her timeless and lyrically potent songs. When she started playing with Brian Lindsay\, they found kindred spirits in each other. Brian is half of the powerhouse acoustic duo Countercurrent\, and is nationally sought after as a contra dance fiddle player\, singer\, and multi-instrumentalist. In the heartfelt and vulnerable arrangements of Dear Crow\, the harmonies ring easily\, the songs pluck your heartstrings\, and the tunes roll and tumble with the energy that only dance musicians can muster. Click here see Dear Crow’s website \nPenka Jane Culevski and Brian Lindsay \n\nIsaac Banner: \n“Tenured Seattle transplant Isaac Banner is known in the Pacific Northwest for their particular blend of humour and dance instruction. Calling for contra dances since 2016\, they’ve developed their own unique style that resonates with dancers of all levels. With contagious excitement and a cheerful personality\, they’ve since become a sought-after presence at dance weekends and festivals throughout the West Coast and New England. When he’s not up on stage\, Isaac can be found writing original choreography\, coaching new callers\, or making surprisingly convincing chicken noises.” Click here to see Isaac’s website \nIsaac Banner at Bellingham Contra Dance \n\nHalloween 2025 \n
