The Sybaritic String Band will be performing twice at 2020 Festival du Bois.

First up is a FREE Contradance on Friday, March 6th, from 8-10 pm, with calling in both French and English by Maureen Collier. The Festival tent opens at 6pm and will start off with a free concert at 7 pm by the Celtic Lasses. Then it’s time to dance!

Our next festival performance is a concert set on March 7th, from 11:45 – 12:30 pm on the main stage.

Come hear The Sybs like you’ve never heard them before. We’ll be playing traditional and original compositions and even doing a bit of singing! And of course, lots of high energy tunes to boogey to.

See you there!
