Dan Cantrell and friends is

Dan Cantrell on accordion and vocals

Lila Sklar on violin and vocals

Greg Jenkins on saxophone and clarinet

Calvin Lai on clarinet

Max Baloian on guitar

Jesse Hix on double bass

Sean Tergis on drums

and a potential slew of other musical compatriots.

The ensemble is deeply rooted in Balkan folk, Romany, and Klezmer styles but uses this foundation to offer a new take on these traditions with original compositions in the style, beguiling arrangements and mashups, left turns, and the occasional idiomatic pop cover. Fear not for your feet though, they will also fire up some sick Balkan grooves and are sure to nestle into all the fun favorites for folk dancing and freylach making. Get your butt down to the Schnazz with you instrument and/or dancing shows and race us to the bottom of a bottle of Balkan boogie.

Also, we are very excited to have Elizabeth Strong teaching some dances that go along with the live music so definitely come early so you don’t miss out!
