2013 Information
This year's Squirrel Moon dance features:
- The Band: The Coffee Zombies have rocked dancers fr
 om St. Louis to Pittsburgh, and Indianapolis to Atlanta. The fusion of old-time, Celtic, French-Canadian, swing, and original tunes with a hard-driving rhythmic base makes it impossible to stay off the dance floor. www.coffee-zombies.com.
Tom Cunningham (fiddle/guitar) loves playing the fiddle and writing tunes for dancers. With the Hot Club of Derbytown, Schrodinger's TomCats, band du jour and Les Enfants du Fromage, he's played for dancers in several states. His music has also given him opportunities in theatre, in swing, country, Celtic and bluegrass bands, and his one-man show, FiddleTales, incorporates story-telling and singing along with his fiddling.
Dianna Davis's (piano/accordion/clarinet) music instrument addiction has not only taken over her house but has landed her opportunities to play in 2 contra dance bands, the improv group Thin Air, and a traditional Irish ceili band. She corrals many singers and instrumentalists as Music Director at an Unitarian Church and accompanies a social justice women's chorus. She has edited a clarinet method book, judged competitions, and is the scheduler and vice president of Indy contra dance. www.DiannaDavis.com.
Bob Douglas (percussion/guitar) enjoys bringing his drumming experience with an array of musical genres to The Coffee Zombies. He has played afro-pop, reggae, classical, punk, r & b, jazz, blues, prog-rock and country all around the eastern U.S. He is also an accomplished vocalist. He loves being back home playing and recording with so many friends and local artists.
