Music of the Roaring Twenties(and Then Some!)
A musical and historical walk down memory lane
West Windsor fiddler Adam Boyce, accompanied by piano player Sue Hunt of Alexandria, New Hampshire, will play a number of traditional New England contra and square dance tunes, as well as some older popular music from bygone eras of American history and culture.
Adam Boyce, of West Windsor, grew up in Williamstown, Vermont, and has been playing the fiddle for 32 years. A student of the legendary traditional "Yankee" fiddler, Harold "Chuck" Luce of Chelsea, Adam's repertoire includes traditional jigs, reels, and hornpipes of early New England-style dancing, but also older popular music, Tin-Pan Alley, early Country-Western songs, Big-Band numbers, church hymns, and original compositions of his own making.
Sue Hunt of Alexandria, New Hampshire, has been hooked on New England traditional dancing and music since she was in elementary school. Influenced by dance callers Ralph Page, Dudley Laufman, and Duke Miller, she plays piano and accordion regularly in New Hampshire and Vermont for public dances and private events, and also calls square and contra dances for reunions, weddings, and other gatherings
