Self-described "dance maniac", Wendy Graham's passion for music, song and dance
caught fire on a youth dance tour of Denmark in 1991. Today, Wendy leads English, American, Community,
and couples dance (Frankie Manning's Lindy Hop and Latin dances in particular)
in her hometown, Durango, Colorado, throughout the country as far away as Alaska, and abroad in England and Denmark.
She proudly served on the Country Dance and Song Society (CDSS) board and is a Lifetime Contribution Award committee member.
She also served on the Lloyd Shaw Foundation board. Find out where in the world Wendy is via
her Facebook page.
The Gaslight Tinkers' blend of global rhythms creates a joyously danceable sound around a core of traditional
New England old time and Celtic fiddle music, merging boundless positive energy with melody and song.
Since its formation in 2012 the band has lit up the East Coast, the West Coast, and the Caribbean, headlining clubs, dances, and major festivals.
Playing what The Valley Advocate describes as "Music that consistently fizzes and pops with unexpected textures and turns",
The Gaslight Tinkers' shows are packed with delightful surprises, elated crowds, and exuberant musicianship.
African, Caribbean, Funk, Reggae, and Latin grooves meet traditional fiddle music. It's the genre-bending future of the music of the past.
