The core of Full Circle is Veronica & Ted Lane*#, two former military musicians who traveled extensively and played many styles of music with the Navy band and their own trio, "Seabreeze."  Now Ted & Veronica enjoy playing Celtic and Old Time tunes on guitar and hammered dulcimer for contra- and English Country dances. 
 
Full Circle usually performs as a trio or quartet utilizing some of North Florida's most talented musicians including: violinist, Ben Bolker*; and woodwind specialist, Robbie Zukauskas*
 
Full Circle has become a well known English Country dance band in the Southeast and has had the privilege of playing for such renowned callers as Gene Murrow, Colin Hume, Scott Higgs, Bruce Hamilton, Jacqueline Schwab, Brad Foster, Robin Hayden, David Millstone, Barrie Bullimore, Nicolas Broadbridge, and Reg Battle.
  
In 2005, the group formed an electric version of Full Circle which includes Ben on fiddle, Robbie on saxophone & flute, Ted on electric guitar, Veronica on electric bass, plus Aidan Murch on electronic drums and Tara Bolker* calling.  This "electric contra/ECeilidh" band rocks out with a driving beat on traditional and non-traditional, danceable tunes.  See "ECEILIDH BAND" link below.
 
***NEW***  The band now has an acoustic/electric lineup as well.  We mix the percussive hammered dulcimer and acoustic guitar with Irish flute and/or fiddle plus EWI, electric bass and electronic drums.  By varying our instrument combinations for the different tunes, we can sound traditional or techno-modern.
