GIRL GERMS

GIRLGERMS offers an "infectious" blend of traditional dance, music and song. Comprised of five innovative performers who share a passion for traditional American music in its purest and most unadorned form, this Twin-Cities based group presents rhythmic footwork, driving fiddle tunes, clawhammer banjo, plaintive harmonies and southern mountain-square-dance figures. Drawing on a variety of cultures ­ Southern Appalachian, British Isles, African American, Native American and French Canadian ­ GIRLGERMS pushes the boundaries of rural folk style!

GIRLGERMS are Shawn Glidden, Melinda Hooker, Teresa Neby Lind, Cynthia Wicklund, Julie Young.

"Hand over hand, heel over heel, the more you dance, the better you feel."
