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 40 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:
