Jan. 14, 2017 -- Audrey and Clayton

Audrey Budington (fiddle) got the attention of Natalie MacMaster at the age of 13 and went on to win the prestigious 4-year Presidential Scholarship to the Berklee College of Music. Clayton Clemetson (piano) has played widely for contra and English country dances, led sessions, scored films, and toured twice as part of a trio with world-class fiddler Mari Black. Together, Audrey and Clayton have performed at Ooh La La Dance Festival in Quebec, Common Ground Country Fair in ME, Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend in Durham, NH and more. Visit their website here.

Caller Nils Fredland is sought after as a prime mover for contra dances all over New England and internationally. If that's not enough, he's a classically trained trombonist who plays fiddle tunes, the Associate Artistic Director for Revels North, and a music teacher for the Newton School in South Strafford, VT.
