Album Notes

Originally based in the Radford and Blacksburg areas of Southwest Virginia, Dot Dot Dash began performing in the fall of 2002. In the months following, the band was soon playing events and festivals throughout the area, as well as coffee houses, radio and local contra dances. Originally a trio of fiddle, guitar and mandolin, the group welcomed Joel Keebler on double bass in early 2004. In the time since, the group has become spread out geographically, with members living in Boone, NC, as well as Roanoke, Abingdon and Pembroke, VA. The guys recorded an album's worth of tunes in December 2004 and January 2005, and released their first CD in early April 2005. Dot Dot Dash primarily plays contra dances in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, although they can be seen performing at other musical events from time to time.
