Thistle House

Thistle House is a Scottish dance band rewired for high voltage. Consisting of David Knight on fiddle, Dave Wiesler on piano, and Dan Emery on highland pipes, small pipes, and wooden flute, Thistle House is guaranteed to pump adrenaline into the most tired feet -- especially when the pipes start up! All three musicians are avid and accomplished Scottish country dancers as well as nationally recognized musicians, and this guarantees that the music they make will always be danceable and exciting. David, Dave, and Dan have all played frequently at the Pinewoods and Scottish Weekend dance camps, and at dances up and down the East Coast and beyond, to energetic acclaim from dancers and musicians alike.

Waverley Station

Waverley Station fuses the exciting musical energy of David Knight on fiddle, Liz Donaldson on piano and Ralph Gordon on bass and cello. The trio, based in the Washington, DC area, has been playing together since 1999. With nearly a century of dance and music experience amongst them, Liz, David and Ralph truly enjoy playing not only Scottish, but also English and American contra dance music. When not playing as Waverley Station, they follow their own individual muses into genres as diverse as Swing, Irish, Klezmer, American Folk, and Acoustic Rave. If it's Waverley Station on the stage, you are sure to leave wanting more!!! Their CD, Waverley Station: First Stop!, features generic Scottish Dance sets.
