Description

Roaring Jelly is a very large, friendly Contra Dance Band formed in 1970. We sponsor and play for the 3rd Friday Contra (and Square) Dances in Lexington, MA (September - June) and some other dances, both public and private.

In over 35 years of playing together, about 300 musicians have contributed to the sound of Roaring Jelly. Some have stayed many years, other have passed through but 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.

What is Contra Dancing?
It's an unforgettable experience that combines some easy steps, a Caller, live music and your energy and enthusiasm! For more info visit:

Our 3rd Friday Dance* is usually held at the First Parish Hall (the white church opposite the Battle Green), 7 Harrington Rd, Lexington (Center), MA from 8-11 pm, (7:45 pm for all the basic instruction needed to get started). Come Dance with us, families, beginners, and singles are welcome! Admission is $7, teens $5, under 13 free; or $20 per family. Cider is served at the break.
*4th Friday September 25, 2009

Our first CD: "Roaring Jelly - Dynamite Music Since 1970" features Music Director Debby Knight and 34 band members playing over an hour of music (13 dance sets and waltzes) with a colorful 12 page descriptive booklet. Copies are available at our Dances or by mail.
