"While dancing, I was swept away in dance bliss while still appreciating how awesome and tight the music was."
Magic Foot brings together the talents of four inventive players—Colin Lindsay, Chris Stevens, Brendan Taaffe, and Stefan Amidon—who are charming audiences from South to North with their driving, high energy music. Rooted deeply in the Irish tradition, the boys pull inspiration from a wide array of sources—from French accordion players to James Brown—to create their own sound, and are equally adept at lifting dancer's feet off the floor and warming the soul in concert.
"I've never had so much fun dancing."
"The hot boy band of contra dancing..."
"Dancing to you guys is a spiritual experience."
"You guys are hot! And I love your music, too."
