Brackney String Band is the featured band for the Contradance Sunday, May 17, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Tioga Trails Café, corner of Lake and Main Owego. The Brackney String Band is noted for its energetic Celtic and Old-Time music. The band consists of Rob Seigers on five-string banjo, Marguerite Shelp on guitar, Johanna Masters on fiddle, and Tim Masters on string bass.
Contradancing, like square dancing, is done to a walking step and is easy to learn. No experience is necessary. Katy Heine will be teaching and calling contradances and square dances. Each dance is taught and prompted. Bring friends, family, or come by yourself. Partners not required.
General admission is $7, for students and seniors (55+) admission is $5, family maximum is $15.
