Text Box: Charleston Folk Presents The 18th Annual Palmetto Bug Stomp Featuring The Latter Day Lizards Wih Ginne Snowe on bass and Calling by Joseph Pimentel and Seth Tepfer Text Box: Charleston Folk C/o Carl Hilton 954 Crown Court Mt Pleasant, SC 29464 Text Box: April 13 - 15 , 2007 Charleston, South Carolina Text Box: The Latter Day Lizards are a New England based dance band featuring a trio of musicians fervent with the desire and talent to ignite flames under dancing feet. With a wide ranging and hopelessly eclectic repertoire including everything from Irish and Scottish traditional jigs and reels to Balkan, blues and swing tunes the Lizards bring excellent musicianship, playfulness, drama and unrelentingly infectious rhythm to their dance performances. With Peter Barnes on piano, guitar and flute, Bill Tomczak on clarinet, sax and drum and Dave Langford on guitar and fiddle, they blend swing, rock-and-roll and jazz influences with traditional foot-stomping dance music to make an innovative, spontaneous and rhythmically inflammatory

Seth Tepfer  Known for his infectious energy, his short walk-thru's, and his 'hash-contras', Seth's warm enthusiasm is contagious, and gets everyone moving, smiling, and having a great time. Whether squares, contras, or other folk dances, you can be certain that all involved - novices and experienced dancers alike - will amble away happy and eager to dance more!
Text Box: Location The Bug Stomp will be back at the Mark Clark Hall on the live oak shaded Citadel Campus, just minutes from beautiful downtown Charleston, SC . We’ve heard nothing but raves about the dance hall.

Joseph Pimentel calls a great variety of contra dances, from the simple to the complex; and he teaches them all with great clarity and fun.  In addition, he gives many wonderful and diverse dance workshops. Don’t miss his Wicked Contra workshop. Wicked cool contras with mind-boggling edges to challenge the most hardy dancers in the most delightful way. Not for the faint of heart.

 

Fly by Day will feature Karen  Gaughan on Keyboard and Julia Weatherford on Fiddle
