Rochester’s newest Contra dance band came together  through playing at the local trad Irish music sessions and ceilidh dances. The core repertoire is thus Irish and for contra some Scottish, Canadian, and Old-time tunes have been added. Leader Bob Berch is a long time dancer and musician, so you know they’ll play great tunes in a solid dancing style. Your feet won’t want to stop when The Bobbens are in the hall.
