Waverley Station

WAVERLEY STATION fuses the exciting musical energy of David Knight on fiddle, Liz Donaldson on piano, and Ralph Gordon on bass and cello. The trio, based in the Washington DC area, began playing together in 1999. With nearly a century of dance and music experience amongst them - taking them to every continent but four - Liz, David and Ralph truly enjoy playing for English, Scottish, and American contra dancing. If it's Waverley Station on the stage, you are sure to leave wanting more! Check out their CD, Waverley Station: First Stop!, which features generic Scottish Dance sets.

Terpsichore

Elke Baker, 1995 U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion, highly-regarded pianist Liz Donaldson and versatile bassist and cellist Ralph Gordon have played together as TERPSICHORE since 1992. Named for the Greek Muse of Dance, Terpsichore has performed for enthusiastic listeners and dancers all over the U.S. and abroad. Caledonian Muse, released by the trio in 2006, is their latest Scottish Country Dance recording. Elke and Liz play as a duo on their 1993 CD, Terpsichore: Scottish Dance Music, which has become an indispensible classic of the genre. In addition to being a premier Scottish country dance band, Terpsichore plays regularly for English, contra, and other dances and concerts.
