The Contrarians
With roots in Celtic and Appalachian music, the Contrarians have inspired dancers from NY to Atlanta to St.Louis and points in between with genre bending grooves.  The Contrarians are Paul Epstein, fiddle and feet, John Longwell, mandolin, sax, tenor banjo and fiddle, Josh Barrett, acoustic and electric guitar, and Will Carter, bass.

Contrarians deliver hot contra dance music from West Virginia, where the traditions trend toward square dance and bluegrass. The Contrarians, however, as their name implies, are not restricted by genres: Celtic, French Canadian, Swing, Gypsy, as well as Appalachian and original tunes are woven together and spiced with Afro-pop, Reggae, blues, and other grooves. ​
