Band

Open Band

Eric Rounds, fiddle, leader, Mark Henry, piano

Founded by Eric Rounds, open band nights in Rochester are now led by Daphne Pickens and Jane Knoeck. Like Eric, Jane has been an enthusiastic member of the Rochester traditional music community for many years. Daphne has grown up in the tradition and is on the faculty at the Kanack School of Music. We continue to use Eric’s original, great repertoire. Printed music is available at the dance, and you can pick up a copy online.
