Wild Hair is an eclectic ensemble that performs music from a variety of
traditions, from old-time to Irish, from sweet waltzes to down-home blues. We like a good groove and a solid melody to inspire
dancers in their enjoyment of the dance.
How We Started
Wild Hair began as an "ad hoc" ensemble for a Northwest Folklife dance
in 2006. We all had such a good time that we thought we should play together more often. Dancers up and down the I-5 corridor
have concurred!
Recent Performances
Wild Hair recently played for Folklife 2008. Take a look at the clip below
to watch the dancers in action as our music carries them along....
Today's
Music at Midweek performance--tasty, very very tasty. A wonderful
and unique sound, instrumentally, rhythmically, and not least
harmonically. A good time most definitely was had by all.
