Hu$hmoney is a new northeast Ohio contradance band spawned from the ashes of the dance band institution, Strings & Things. Original members of 26 years, Tina Bergmann (hammered dulcimer, guitar, vocals, dumbek) and David Rice (harmonica, fiddle, guitar) are joined by Heather Malyuk (guitar, fiddle) and Bryan Thomas (bass, foot percussion). Hu$hmoney's collective musical experience encompasses American old time, Celtic, Scottish, Puerto Rican, African, Cuban, classical and blues traditions. With their feet rooted in tradition, Hu$hmoney explores these traditions while creating driving, surprising, and varied takes on old time standards, ethnic melodies, and original tunes.
