The Golden Griffon Stringtet
The Golden Griffon Stringtet is an acoustic, instrumental, square dance & contra dance band from
southeast Michigan featuring hammered dulcimer, fiddle, guitar and bass.
We play for weddings, receptions, contra dances, civil war balls and re-enactments, heritage festivals,
community fairs, concert performances and educational programs. We also give private
lessons on hammered dulcimer, fiddle/violin, guitar and piano.
Our repertoire includes traditional jigs, reels, waltzes and airs
from Irish, French-Canadian, New England and Southern/Old Time sources, civil
war tunes, Christmas music, traditional Michigan dance tunes,
contemporary dance tunes written in the traditional style and a few
contemporary pop melodies that we have corrupted into contra dance tunes.
