Saturday, May 4 at 7 p.m.—HARTLAND—The Moonlighters Big Band and Hartland Council of the Arts will host a dance party at Damon Hall, 1 Quechee Road, Hartland.
Amy and Jamie Orr, professional dance instructors, are providing an hour of dance lessons beginning at 7 p.m., music at 8 p.m. The instruction is included in the price of admission, which is $15 for music listening only, $20 for dance participants. Both levels of admission include free refreshments.
Guests are invited to bring non-perishable food donations for the Hartland Food Shelf if they care to.
Moonlighters’ manager Janet Hewes also plays the keyboard as part of the very popular 15-piece group.
“We play blues to ballroom, soft rock to salsa,” Hewes told the Mountain Times. The band has played regularly at venues in New Hampshire, New York and central Vermont for almost 30 years, including outdoor concerts in Hartland.
“We’re organizing a 30th anniversary concert in Hartland in the fall,” Hewes said, “sponsored by Aging in Hartland and other local organizations.”
For reservations, music and dance enthusiasts should call Janet Hewes at 802-436-2069, or email themooonlighters@yahoo.com.
