Fiddle and Bow Country Dancers


	HOT POINT plays for contra and square dances. That's about it... some nice waltzes to get us through dance weekends, a hambo if someone begs for it. We're not a concert band, but when it comes to playing for dancers, we pour everything we have into the music (and then some!) We've been together a long time, and get along pretty well. Although we think the band is better than the sum of our parts, the parts shake out as follows: Mark Burhans on fiddle Hilarie Burhans on clawhammer banjo Mark Hellenberg on percussion and banjo uke Marlene Shostak on piano Nick Weiland on bass As many of our fans know, we have a mission: "Make 'em Go Wooo!" We hope to continue to make you go wooo every single time we play for you.

	THE ELFTONES Elftones (elf´· tohnz) pl.n. A popular, highly energetic North Carolina-based band composed of a fiddler (Mara Shea (formerly Mara Beamish) and a guitarist (Roger Gold). Our music is a blend of Irish, Scottish, Canadian, old-time, and original tunes. We like to play for contra dances, weddings, parties, and just about anywhere people like to twirl and swing and have a great time. Although our home base is in the Piedmont of North Carolina, you can find us playing in a large part of the U.S. (and elsewhere when invited).
