In addition to our normal lesson, brunch and eclectic recorded music, We are excited to welcome back a Portland favorite, Larry Unger, who will be joined by Audrey Knoth on fiddle. Larry knows how to play for dancers and his past performances here have been highlights of the dance year. Try not to miss this special dance.
Their playlist will be waltzes from Larry's CDs and some new ones plus acoustic swing, blues, foxtrots, tangos and other dance music.
Larry Unger and Aubrey Knuth bring together traditional and contemporary acoustic music from around the world, creating a dynamic, swinging sound that is sure to get you on your feet. With Audry on fiddle and Larry on guitar and banjo, their music is full of rhythmic drive and melodic candor. Their show is always new and exciting, presenting everything from traditional American and Celtic fiddle tunes to jazz, blues, and Larry’s original compositions (which have been Waltz Eclectic favorites for 15 years).
