All are welcome to enjoy a delightful evening of social dancing at the North Bayside Grange on Saturday, September 26th, from 6-9pm. Dance to great live music and skilled calling. This friendly community gathering is open to singles and couples. Join the fun at the Bay Area Family Contra Dance, featuring three hours of congenial social dance. This monthly event is sponsored by the South Coast Folk Society. It’s a light-hearted community gathering appropriate for teens and adults. It’s free, and open to everyone age 12 and up. New dancers are always welcome. No prior experience or partner is required at this alcohol- and fragrance-free party.

Contra Dancing is fun, and easy to learn, like an old-time barn dance.  It’s a delightful way to socialize to beautiful, uplifting music. Come swing your partner and do-si-do to the foot-stomping music of the Outstanding Open Band. Popular caller Paul Poresky will provide a lesson for new dancers at 6:00pm, and expert calling all evening.  Wear casual clothes and comfortable shoes. Please join us on the dance floor, or relax and enjoy fine music.

Many thanks to the North Bayside Grange, a wonderful dance venue, for hosting these fourth-Saturday dances. The center is open to all ages and is located at 67577 E Bay Road, North Bend, just across the bridge, in Glasgow. Save the date. Doors open at 5:45, and a $5 donation would be much appreciated. There will be refreshments available all evening. Contact Paul at 541-404-8267 for more information, or visit southcoastfolksociety.com.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Gráinne Hunt is thrilled to announce her upcoming US tour, a journey through vibrant venues in Washington, Oregon, California, Utah and New Mexico! In addition to the West Coast tour dates, Gráinne has been invited to showcase at FARM Folk Alliance and there will be a show in St Paul, MN too. The tour kicks off on the 10th September and features intimate performances at renowned venues, community spaces and listening audience-favourite rooms.

Performing as a duo with San Diego’s Jules Stewart on drums and vocals, the pair create a sound that’s been compared to The Indigo Girls and Brandi Carlile - rich harmonies, heartfelt stories, and magnetic onstage chemistry. Together, they’ve been described as “the bi-continental queer folk duo you didn’t know you needed in your life.”

Gráinne’s tour is gratefully supported by Culture Ireland and the Irish Department of Culture, Communications and Sports.
