Vaccination and Masks Optional
Riehl runs real and Rendezvous reels out reels to rein in the randy retinue of rabble rousers. A rhapsody of rhythm and rhyme from rosin, resin, and resonant refrains ricochets round the room to riotous rave reviews.
CHRISTIE RIEHL
Long seen on the dance stage playing cello with the Princeton Pick-up Band, and Strings Attached, Christie Riehl has taken up the caller’s mike. She is known for her engaging personality that pulls dancers onto the floor with her welcoming calling.
RENDEZVOUS
Rendezvous is a trio of high energy musicians meeting to generate joy and movement on the dance floor. Jared Bishop is an exciting new fiddler on the Philadelphia music scene, playing in several groups for local dancing. Mat Clark has long been a dynamic force as fiddler with Raise the Roof, Hot Feet, Pieces of Eight, and many more. Bob Pasquarello plays piano and lays down the foundation for great dancing whenever he plays.
