We’re so excited about Spintuition that we just had to get this dance posted. Rest assured that we are on the hunt for a caller to match the energy of the band!
Spintuition is a New England based band that blends creativity and tradition into tight harmony and joyous rhythms. Silas Hamilton (Guitar, Piano, Fiddle, Feet), Willy Clemetson (Fiddle, Feet), and Samuel Foucher (Accordion, Piano) primarily play music for contra dances though they have crafted sweet arrangements of traditional songs into their repertoire for concerts. In 2019, two years after the band was formed, Spintuition tied for first place in the Young Tradition Vermont contest in Burlington. They have also been featured at some of the biggest dances in New England, such as BIDA, Belfast, and Montpelier. Presenting a compelling mixture of spicy original tunes and glorious old ones in the styles of trad-Irish, French-Canadian, and Old Time, Spintuition has cultivated a vibrant and vital sound that will leave you hungry for more.
