A past Cabin Fever Square Dance.

press release:Grandpa’s Elixir string band is happy to announce that their third annual Cabin Fever Square Dance & Pot Luck is scheduled for Saturday, January 27, 2018!  Once again, the event will happen in the Yahara Community Room in the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center, 953 Jenifer Street. The amazing Dot Kent will be the caller. Her husband, regional fiddle legend Chirps Smith, is sitting in with the band. The Pot Luck community meal will begin at 6:15 and will be followed by the Square Dance at 7.  

This is an all ages event.  No prior square dancing experience required.  A fee of $7 per person, or $20 for a group of four, will help cover production costs. As in the past regarding adult beverages, this family-friendly event will be BYO.

Grandpa’s Elixir is a string-band trio based in Madison. Formed in 2011, Grandpa’s Elixir has been playing its unique mix of old-time music, country blues, jug band and fiddle tunes at dances, taverns, community centers, co-ops and private parties throughout South Central Wisconsin. Playing square dances is a fun part of that mix.  In January of 2016, the band hosted its first self-funded event, the first Cabin Fever Square Dance in Madison’s Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center. The attendees declared the event to be a huge success!  More dances followed, in spring and in the fall. Beginning in February 2018, Grandpa’s Elixir will resume its ongoing monthly performance at the Malt House in Madison (the first Monday of every month).
