Fiddler Kaynor will play at Folk School

Well known contra dance fiddler David Kaynor will be featured in concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 21 in the Keith house Community Room of the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown. Admission is free.

David Kaynor hails from western Massachusetts which is considered one of the epicenters of traditional contra dance and music. As a fiddler, band leader, teacher and caller, David has had considerable influence on the growing popularity of contra dancing and contra dance music around the country. His Greenfield Dance Band plays for the popular contra dances at the Guiding Star Grange in Greenfield, Massachusetts. Another of Kaynor's interests is the traditional fiddle music of Sweden, where he has visited many times.

Upcoming Friday concerts at the Folk School will feature country harmony duo Barefoot Creek (March 29) and old time country music with Mountain Fling (April 4).

For further information call the Folk School at 828-837- 2775 or 1-800-FOLK-SCH.
