Chrissy Fowler calling (Belfast, ME)
with Matching Orange
Brendan Carey-Block – fiddle
Eric McDonald – mandolin
Eric Eid-Reiner - piano

Using the trio of Eric McDonald (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Eric Eid-Reiner (piano), and Brendan Carey Block (fiddle), Matching Orange plays traditional music from around the world, including Ireland, Scotland, Quebec, Appalachia, New England, Cape Breton and others. They create a swirling level of intensity, sometimes gritty, sometimes pure, and always engaging.

"Matching Orange is one of the most inventive and talented bands in New England. Its a tremendous pleasure to see and hear such an accomplished collection of individual musicians with such flair and creativity. I expect we'll all have the benefit of looking back and saying we knew about this group from beginning...join the club!" -- Mark Sustic, director of Young Tradition Vermont & founder of the Champlain Valley Folk Festival
Contra dance caller Chrissy Fowler cheerfully leads folks of all ages in traditional New England social dance. She is gifted at building community through dance and movement.
“Chrissy is relaxed, witty, and non-judgmental, such that duffers don't feel awkward but are ready to give it another go on the next dance.” - Shane Hunt, reunion host
