Band: Sparklebrite Dance Band is a never-before-heard PNW old-time quartet featuring Kate Lichtenstein on fiddle, Matt Sircely on bass, Stuart Illson on banjo, and Andy Rick on guitar.

Caller: Devin Champlin is a Bellingham-based musician and artist who makes up songs for singing with his band, likes to play old fiddle music on a variety of instruments, and can occasionally be found calling at square dances. He first learned to call by playing in the band at many-a-dance and eventually absorbed enough of the moves and patter to be able to call a few dances on his own. He likes to keep things light and fun while still honoring tradition and the legacy of his mentors.
