About the event

Ardencopia at PAC with Janine Smith and River Road!
This month, Janine Smith calls to music by River Road from Massachusetts! We were able to book these fantastic folks as part of the Contracopia weekend - you should go to the whole thing if you can!

Janine Smith is one of the most awesomest callers in the mid-Atlantic. Her teaching is clear and to-the-point, and her sense of humor keeps us in party mode.

River Road is a vibrant trio rooted in New England, blending the timeless spirit of traditional folk with a fresh, contemporary energy. Their music flows with the elegance of Sarah-Hadley Yakir’s fiddle, the rich textures of Kristen Planeaux’s piano, flute, and accordion and the anchoring of Jesse Ball’s mandolin, guitar, and foot percussion.
