Stomp Rocket is a New England based trio. They’ve played for contras throughout New England, and at dance weekends in Alaska, Tennessee, and Maryland. In 2019 Stomp Rocket was at Fleur de Lis Fling in Kentucky, The Florida Snowball, and the Corvallis Contra Weekend among other places.
Stomp Rocket also provides very fine music for English Country dancing. Dave brings decades of English Dance music experience to the band, including hundreds of English Country dance events and many English themed weeks at Pinewoods, performing extensively with musicians such as Kate Barnes, Jacqueline Schwab and Karen Axelrod, in the Boston area and beyond. Bethany and Glen are newer to English Dance music but bring their considerable musical skills as well as enthusiasm for the genre to play at every opportunity. David Millstone, who has led English Dance programs with Stomp Rocket said the following: “The musicians of Stomp Rocket bring both technical prowess and musical sensitivity to the English Country Dance program. They offer a fresh perspective on the repertoire, always with clear melody, rich harmony and solid rhythm for dances gentle or lively.”
