GET REEL!'s banjo, fiddle, guitar and harmonica players crank out
old-timey southern reels for contra dances. Sometimes there's also
vocals, a stand-up bass, and Howie's "Caryl-Ann's Waltz" on piano.
Martin Grosswendt, our fiddler, is a multi-talented musician who
also plays guitar, bass guitar, banjo and concertina. Howie
Bursen's style, talent and virtuosity on banjo adds a sound of its
own to our tunes. His vocals, piano and guitar make for a nice
change up. Marie Malchodi, guitar, is Martin's wife and mother of
their twin daughters, Sophia and Lydia. Somehow, she finds time for
all our gigs. And then, there's me, Deck Nieforth, playing
harmonica, spoons and fiddle.
The mix makes for a clear beat for the dancers to follow. We have
been playing together about 7 years now, and friends even longer.
