Brad Battey and friends & Sheila Graziano
Brad Battey has been fiddling (well!) since he was a tiny child. He has absorbed a variety of styles from Scandinavian to swing and is known for producing spontaneous musical fun. From a beginning in 10 years of tap lessons, Sheila expanded her repertoire to include Appalachian, Irish, Scottish, English, and Canadian styles of step dance. Long the clogger with The Raisin Pickers, she now performs in Matter & Ghost, a collaboration with Michigan's state troubadour Neil Woodward. She gives private lessons. (tradstepper@yahoo.com)

Ben Hassenger
Ben is a songwriter who plays guitar. His songs range for the silly to the serious, with lyrics about baseball, soccer moms, dogs, soldiers, and struggles.

His latest project is a song called "The Corner", filled with memories of Tiger Stadium; it has been featured in the Free Press and will be part of a soon-to-be-filmed video. (bquietmusic@acd.net) |
