Spare Parts has performed for period
events, contradances, English dances, weddings, parties, concerts, and dance camps from Alaska to Maine.
Our historic dance music has been used worldwide in motion pictures (Bright Star) and
theater productions as well as television programs including Mercy Street (PBS), Antiques Roadshow
and numerous programs on the History Channel (even SpongeBob SquarePants!).
Bill Matthiesen on piano and Liz Stell on flute combine
with one or more "spare parts du jour." Some of our
favorite "spare parts" include fiddlers Eric Buddington, Ruthie Dornfeld,
Naomi Morse, Frank Orsini, Mark Bagdon, Anne Hooper, Cathie Whitesides,
Susan Conger, George Wilson,
and Rebecca McCallum ... cornetist Peter Ecklund ...
and bassists Ben Davis, Mark Murphy and Larry Unger.
