The Corn Potato String Band has earned high praise in traditional American music, keeping old time fiddle and banjo music from a one-way trip to the dustbins of history. Theirs is a story of struggle, hard knocks and triumph. Essentially unable to cope with modern life, the members of this band are outcasts of society who survive by playing the lost music of the flatlands where they were raised.
The Corn Potatos have delighted audiences with their driving fiddle tunes and harmonious singing across the US, Canada, Europe, Mexico, and India. They are all multi-instrumentalists dedicated to continuing the music and dance traditions of the Central and Southern US. In addition to being champion fiddlers they play banjo, guitar, bass and mandolin and deftly handle many different antiquated styles including ballads, “ho-downs,” country “rags” and southern gospel, specializing in twin fiddling and double banjo tunes.
Aaron Jonah Lewis is a multi-instrumentalist, performer and educator. He has won awards at the Clifftop Appalachian String Band Festival, including First Place Neotraditional Band in 2008, and at the Galax Old Fiddlers Convention, including First Place Bluegrass Fiddle in 2007, and he has performed at major festivals from the US to the UK and from Italy to Finland. Lewis has appeared on dozens of recordings from bluegrass and old time to swing jazz, modern experimental and Turkish classical music projects. He has taught workshops at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow and at the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London. He also plays and teaches banjo, mandolin, guitar, and bass and is currently based in Detroit, Michigan.
Lindsay McCaw has been playing American old time music for over 15 years. She performs music and calls dances around the country. McCaw plays fiddle, banjo, guitar, accordion and piano. She is also part of several theater and puppet companies, including her own, called The Dolly Wagglers. She has won several musical distinctions such as two-time winner of the Minneapolis Jug Band Contest and four-time Grand Prize winner of the Sheffield Field Days Fiddle contest.
Ben Belcher is an accomplished banjo player and a talented artist. He has distinguished himself with such awards as the Independent Music World Series, which he won with The Hot Seats in Nashville, TN, in 2006, First Place Neotraditional Band at the Appalachian String Band Festival in 2008 and a Herald Angel award at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe. Belcher has toured extensively in the US and in Europe and the UK since 2001. He has been a regular at the Edinburgh Fringe with The Hot Seats and recently appeared at the Shetland Folk Festival.

Since 1971 Pop Wagner has produced some of the most spirited traditional music around and has quite the reputation as a singer, master picker, fiddler, square dance caller, poet, purveyor of rope tricks and dry humor, and downright funny guy.
Wagner appeared quite frequently on Public Radio’s A Prairie Home Companion during the show’s formative years and for the last four decades he has worked his cowboy magic throughout 44 states and ten countries.
His cowboy anthems crackle with the warmth of a prairie campfire and his old time fiddle tunes set toes a-tappin’ while he serves up spellbinding rope tricks and tall stories — all with a good dose of friendly humor.

Beginning Irish (Saturday)
Ceili Dance Instruction (all ages) (Sunday)
Meghan Scott (formerly Meghan McCartney) specializes in Irish dance education and percussive dance performance. She grew up in the Lansing area, and was an original member of the Irish Dance Company of Lansing (IDCL). After nine years in the Company, she graduated after her senior year. Alongside her involvement in the IDCL, she studied Irish dance under the tutellage of John Heinzman, A.D.C.R.G, and went on to become an Open Champion, the highest level that can be attained in Irish dancing. She competed in both the North American Championships and World Championships as a solo dancer.
After retiring from competition, Meghan moved to the mountains of Western North Carolina and attended Mars Hill University through a dance scholarship, where she became a member of their prestigious traditional dance team, the Bailey Mountain Cloggers. While on the team, Meghan explored the intricacies of many traditional dance forms that are linked to Irish dance, such as flatfooting, precision clogging, and figure dancing. She helped the Bailey Mountain Cloggers win two National Championships in Maggie Valley, North Carolina before graduating from Mars Hill with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2008. She also had the pleasure of traveling with the Bailey Mountain Cloggers to Mallorca, an island off the coast of Spain, where she performed and competed in the World Folk Dance Festival.
Meghan has performed at theaters and festivals across North America, including multiple performances at the world renowned Wheatland Music Festival, in Remus, Michigan. She was a guest dancer for many well known traditional musical groups including Eileen Ivers, the Gibson Brothers, the David Munnelly Band, Jamie Laval and Ashley Broder, and Liz Carroll and John Doyle.
While Meghan has mostly focused her dance education on Irish dance and Appalachian clogging, she has also studied other styles of dance from a wealth of percussive dance talent, including learning body percussion and Cape Breton step dancing from Sandy Silva, French Canadian step dancing from Benoit Bourque, Ottawa Valley and Marley dancing from Sheila Graziano, and rapper sword dancing from Sharon Leahy of Rhythm in Shoes fame.
Currently Meghan resides in Williamston, Michigan with her husband, two young daughters, and her dog Jack. She became involved in the Irish Dance Company of Lansing again in 2011 as a choreographer and dance educator, and she is thrilled to provide quality Irish dance classes to the greater Lansing community through McCartney Irish Dance.

Saturday Workshops
- Backing Up Fiddle Tunes – John Warstler & Ruby John
- Métis Fiddle – Ruby John
Biography
Ruby John: Ruby plays Celtic, country, bluesgrass, old time and Metis fiddle music. She is in early twenties and has been playing fiddle since her single digit years. Ruby is from Northport, MI and has studied with some of the top fiddlers from the US and Canada, including Pierre Shryer, Lee Sloan, Bobbie Hicks and Anne Lederman. Ruby grew up attending Julie Schryer and Pat O’Gorman’s Algoma Trad Traditional Music Camp on St. Joseph Island, Canada, where she studied with some of the top fiddlers from Canada. Ruby was invited to participate in the Elder Youth Legacy workshop in Toronto where six young Native American fiddlers learned tunes from four of the top Metis Fiddlers in Canada. As a
result, Ruby performed at the North Atlantic Fiddler Convention in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
Budd John Greenman: Budd started playing fiddle when he was eight years old. Like Ruby, Budd is a home school graduate and the two have played fiddle together since their very beginnings. Budd is in his late twenties and is a graduate luthier of the Galloup School of Guitar Building. After four years of classical training, Budd switched over to old time fiddle when he was introduced to the Original Michigan Fiddlers Association. There he fell in love with the history and the music of the northern Michigan fiddle style. As a teenager Budd competed twice in the regional Fleadh Cheoil Irish music compertition, taking home a 3rd in fiddle In addition to first and third on mandolin.
Budd is equally talented on mandolin, tenor banjo, viola, as well as progressive finger style,rhythm Celtic guitar. Budd is also a prolific tune composer and hopefully The Johns can get up to speed with some of Budd’s original dance tunes as they are some of the very best tunes that they play.
Jon Cotton and John Warstler: These Johns are the elder members of The Johns, and as of June 2014, they are both retired educators, so you can do the math for their ages as they have stopped keeping track. They are best of friends and have played together for years, but they can never seem to be to play enough music together. Jon is an excellent bass player and an avid dancer and he understands the necessity for that steady bass pulse needed for a successful dance. Jon plays traditional styles of bass as well as bowed bass. Jon has accompanied John on two of his three latest fingerstyle CD’s over the past years. John has pressed seven thousand of these popular discs to date and he will probably never produce another CD without Jon playing bass on it. The two of them have performed together the past several years at the Hiawatha Traditional Music Festival in a number of configurations. Most importantly, These Johns are part of the main stay of the dance scene around Michigan. Jon’s bands have played all over Michigan from Ann Arbor to Marquette. Being from upnorth, The John’s bands have played main dances at the Hiawatha, Bliss and bayside Travelers dances. Back in the early 80’s his band, The Boreal Stringband, played the mainstage at Wheatland and they were fortunate enough to have a portion of their performance saved on vinyl as part of the 6th Annual Wheatland album.
