May 13 - Eugene Contra Dance – Bandwidth w/ William Watson calling

As of May 2023 we will no longer require proof of COVID vaccination to attend a contra dance and masks will be optional, not required.

Bandwidth brings together three of Portland's contra dance music veterans, Gordy Euler (fiddle, whistle, piano), Keith Moe (fiddle), and Carl Thor (piano, mandolin) in a new configuration. Their list of band affiliations reads like a “Who's Who” of the Portland folk music scene,
