Trío Guadalevín

Tzepl
Tzepl weaves together the accordion of Laurie Andres, the trombone and tuba of Jimmy Austin, and the violin of Mae Kessler into a musical braid that manages to be simultaneously harmonious and quarrelsome. They approach instrumental Yiddish music, often known as klezmer, in a way that is mostly traditional, but not strictly so. Their sound combines elements of nineteenth century European string players with the brassy American style of the early twentieth century, with the accordion bridging the gap. Tzepl’s music is just as pleasant for listening as it is invigorating for dancing.
La Famille Léger
La Famille Léger is a French-Canadian family band was born of a time when family and friends would gather in the kitchens of Québec and New Brunswick to make music and dance. The Légers play the dancing music of Acadia and French Canada with fiddle, accordion, guitar, and podorythmie (foot rhythms). This proudly "old school" family band will have your own family dancing and joining the fun. Listen to La Famille Leger on YouTube!
Eclectic Cloggers
Since 1984, Eclectic Cloggers have been performing traditional Appalachian clog dancing throughout the Pacific Northwest, accompanied by live old-time music. Expect to be invited to sing and dance along with them at their family friendly performances.
Chumlilies
The Chumlilies are a four-piece string band sprouting from the Wenatchee Valley featuring acoustic guitar, banjo, fiddle and bass. Their first rehearsals transpired in a small yurt on the Chumstick Highway in 2019 and now they play throughout Washington. All members are vocalists, composers and multi-instrumentalists who write original tunes. Their passion for music and collaboration has fused them into a fun, loving family band. They recorded their first full-length album 'Runaway Wild' in 2020 and released their second full-length album 'Roots in real thick Mud' in 2023. Their music has been described as Americana, Country-Roll and Folkgrass. Their original tunes swirl with enchanting three-part harmonies, vivid lyricism and strikingly gorgeous composition. They soften you with their charm, transport you with their talents and bring you home with their genuine hearts.
