The Golden Griffon Stringtet is an acoustic, instrumental, square dance
& contra dance band from southeast Michigan featuring hammered dulcimer,
fiddle, guitar and bass.
We play for weddings, receptions, contra dances, civil war balls and re-enactments,
heritage festivals, community fairs, concert performances and educational programs.
We also give private lessons on hammered dulcimer, fiddle/violin, guitar
and piano.
Our repertoire includes traditional jigs, reels, waltzes and airs
from Irish, French-Canadian, New England and Southern/Old Time sources, civil
war tunes, Christmas music, traditional Michigan dance tunes,
contemporary dance tunes written in the traditional style and a few
contemporary pop melodies that we have corrupted into contra dance tunes.
