The Big Phat American K-Lee band was conceived during a trip to England where we fell in love with English Ceilidh music and dancing. We wanted to capture the fun rowdy English ceilidh feel with our own American twist. Our callers bring lively, easy to learn, energetic dances from the English and American traditions. Our musicians are from varied musical backgrounds - contra and squares, blues, swing, and international. Blend drums, guitar, bass, fiddle, mandolin, saxes, clarinet, harmonica, three squeezeboxes and a banjo and you can't help but have a stompin' good time!
