The Hottest Contra Dance Music in Western Pennsylvania
The Members | The Dances| Links
Band du Jour is Western Pennsylvania's source for live "traditional" dance music. Exciting arrangements of Irish, New England, French Canadian, and old-time Appalachian tunes have made the band a favorite with both dancers and callers. Fiddle, oboe, whistles, mandolin, guitar, piano, feet, and bass.
|
Rich Moore on fiddle and feet. Rich also plays with Hooley, Pittsburgh's Irish dance band. |
|
Sue Pellant Moore on oboe and whistles. |
|
Tom Cunningham on mandolin and fiddle. Tom also plays with the Swing Shifters and teaches guitar and mandolin in Pittsburgh. |
|
Annie Trimble on piano. Annie also plays with the Cajun band, Grand Bon Rien, and South Wind, an acoustic folk duo. |
|
David Yates on bass. Dave also plays with the Swing Shifters. |
Band Du Jour plays mostly for the regular Friday night contra dances in Pittsburgh, and at weddings and private parties. We've played the Friday night dance for the Pittsburgh Fall Dance Weekend for the last couple years to rave reviews. Check the Community Dance Network website to see when we'll be playing.
For bookings or more information, email any of the members, or call Rich or Sue at (412) 244-8864.
