Formed in 2001, this group of musicians concentrates their talents playing American traditional dance tunes as well as music from the Anglo & Celtic heritages. In addition, the Connection also plays a variety of International dance tunes. A musical experience most often includes old-time fiddle favorites and a variety of Irish reels, jigs, and waltzes. The contemporary sounds of artists like Susan Conger and Jay Ungar (Ashokan Farewell) are also uniquely represented. The Connection is continually expanding its repertoire to include American show tunes, patriotic numbers, ballads, and standards that everyone loves and enjoys.

Folk arts, specifically folk music and dance, embody fundamental values of great worth to our culture, our nation, and our children. There is no better way to share time together as families and friends. Our job is to preserve the joyful tunes we've inherited from our ancestors and to pass them on to others.

Colerain Connection is available for a variety of entertainment needs including introductions to recreational folk dance and children's rhythm and song workshops. Contact Kathy and David Ranhart at (740) 633-9732.
