Description

All attendees must be fully vaccinated and present a valid vaccination card (or photo) upon arrival, or take a COVID test on arrival. Gigmeisters: The Gigmeisters were forged in the late 1990s, when Jamie Platt hired some of the most popular instrumentalists at the Glen Echo Spanish Ballroom at the time and threw us all together. The band includes Alexander Mitchell on fiddle and mandolin, Paul Oorts on musette accordeon plus all types of plucked strings, Ralph Gordon on bass, and Dave Wiesler on piano and guitar. The reason these four played so often at Glen Echo is readily apparent from their high-energy dance music, their rhythmic intensity, and their virtuosic performances in an astounding variety of styles, ranging from contras and squares all the way to swing, Viennese waltz, and vintage dance music. Playing with Fyre will light up your dance weekend at Cabin Fever. George Paul, funky keyboardist and writer of beautiful waltzes teams up with Rob Zisette (from Toss the Possum) on fiddle, Steve Kemble (multi-talented percussionist) on drums and various fun rhythm instruments, and Al White a grooving mandolinist from Berea, Kentucky who will also delight you on fiddle and some occasional banjo picking! We look forward to lighting up your weekend with our original brand of music! We are pleased to welcome featured caller Darlene Underwood. She is a well known caller and hailing from Cincinnati we are excited to welcome Darlene as our featured caller for this year’s Cabin Fever Sound by Jamie Platt who provides high quality sound reinforcement services for concerts, dances, dance camps, festivals, and special events in the Washington, DC-area and all around the Eastern US.  The theme for Cabin Fever 2023: TBA Due to COVID considerations, we are again not arranging housing with local dancers.
