Live Album! by Buddy System
These tracks were recorded live and off-the-cuff between 2017 and 2019 at several contra dance weekends: Feet Retreat in NC, Cabin Fever in TN, and Roanoke Railroader in VA. We didn’t have plans to make a live recording, but the wonderful sound engineer Jamie Platt happened to record these dance weekends, so now we can share these fun dance memories with all of you!
