Evie Ladin And Keith Terry Play Charles And Myrtle's March 20

Evie Ladin and Keith Terry dance their songs, sometimes in perfect lockstep, sometimes in lovely tension. Ladin's voice, clawhammer banjo, and effortless footwork leap and sway between Terry's quicksilver beats, shuffles, and snaps, the distinct language of body music. Both move to the rhythm with a gentle commitment that never overpowers Ladin's tales, finding grooves both welcoming and unexpected.

The partners share a passion for audible dance: Ladin grew up playing banjo and performing Southern Appalachian clogging, gaining professional training on tour with the dance company Rhythm in Shoes. Terry shifted from drums to body percussion as he engaged with the tap revival scene in the 70s while playing drums with the late great dancers.
