Original fiddle tunes and great arrangements of traditional tunes by an energetic new contra dance band from Rochester, NY.
Bio / Background
Turtle United of Rochester, NY was formed in late 2003 by four young people of varied musical backgrounds united by a love of contradancing and contradance music. The band plays traditional and original fiddle tunes as well as some unusual covers of Rusted Root and Ani Difranco among others. Always fun and danceable, the mood of the Turtles can be funky, dreamy, silly, rocking, slinky, and everything in between!
Graduate school has gotten in the way of our performing together, but we hope to someday be Turtle ReUnited
