Roaring Jelly was formed in 1970, by and for over musicians, veteran to novice, to develop their skills by playing Contra and Square Dance music.

Some have stayed many years, other have passed through briefly. As few as a handful or as many as 40 have gathered together at any given time - fiddles, whistles, flutes, trombones, accordions, mandolins, banjos, saxophones, guitars, piano, bass, and percussion - ready to create music together. All have helped shape the sound of this ever-changing, vibrant band known for its spirited, joyful playing at local contra dances.

Our 40th Anniversary Dance, Sunday, April 3 at the Concord Scout House, was a wonderful reunion with dozens of former and current Band members and many dancers including Band Leaders: Bill Cronin, Debby Knight, Vince O'Donnell, Ed Pearlman and Callers: Susan Elberger, Tony Parkes, Sarah Gregory Smith, Dan Watt.

Our CD "Roaring Jelly - Dynamite Music Since 1970" is over an hour of music (13 dance sets and waltzes) with a colorful 12 page descriptive booklet created by Music Director Debby Knight, 34 band members. Former Band members, update your contact info and receive a $5 discount.
