Robbin Marcus has been playing for both contra and English dances since the early part of this century. Classically trained as a piano major, Robbin's versatility shines in the improvisatory dance arena. Here, she gets to really "let go" and just play for fun, riffing off other musicians and always discovering something new about familiar music.
Robbin is a member of Reelplay, her band with spouse Dave Marcus. Reelplay happily plays for both English country and Contra dance gigs. Information about Reelplay can be found on our website. You will also find a host of recordings of us playing dance tunes there.
I love working with Dave, but I'm happy to work with others as well! Contact me and let's see what we can figure out!
