Sister Haggis

Eileen Nicholson Kalfass - fiddle, Jane Knoeck - piano, accordion

Known as Sister Haggis, Eileen Kalfass and  Jane Knoeck have been making music together for over 15  years. Bringing their wealth of experience to both Contra and English dance,  Eileen’s lilting fiddle and Jane’s dynamic piano provide both high energy and exceptional musicality to the dance floor.  Their repertoire features both traditional and modern tunes and draws from a number of  musical traditions.  Together,  and with other ensembles including the Groovemongers and Continental Drift and New Brew, they have travelled the US, Canada, the Caribbean  and Europe, playing for numerous dance weeks, camps and festivals.
