Musicians - 2010
| Night Watch | On their home page, click on LISTEN for music samples |
The dynamic members of Night Watch meld their Northern and Southern sounds to make irresistible music. Naomi Morse (fiddle), Elvie Miller (piano and accordion), and Owen Morrison
(guitar, mandolin, and foot percussion) first played together as
children at Pinewoods Camp. Their irresistible blend, lilting tunes
(many original), and driving arrangements are a delight.

Contraption (kuhn-trap-shuhn) - a device that is very useful for a particular job. The Contraptions (kuhn-trap-shuhnz) - a fabulous music machine - a Philadelphia-based trio who can play for contra, squares, English Country, Morris, hambo, waltz, and more. Chloe Maher on keyboard, Bill Quern on mandolin, banjo, fiddle, and harmonica, and Nora Smith on fiddle make music that's way more tasty than a cheesesteak - listen to a taste at: www.thecontraptions.com
The Love Mongrels are a DC-based stringband featuring four exceptional pickers - Orrin Star (mandolin, guitar and banjo) Danny Knicely (mandolin and guitar), Alexander Mitchell (fiddle), and Ralph Gordon (bass). With energetic and eclectic versions of everything from Tin Pan Alley standards ("Tico, Tico") to modern contra classics ("Evil Diane"). These cats really know how to howl.
