Much more than a folk festival, Earthwork Harvest Gathering has stretched itself over the years to encompass all corners of all genres of music. But sometimes a return to the simple pleasures of old rural Michigan is welcome. Come on out for the square dance, and swing your partner. BOWHUNTER is the Michigan-based square dance band formed from the driving rhythmic and melodic forces of Michael Beauchamp, Sam Cooper, Sam Herman, and Laurel Premo. With two fiddles, banjo, and guitar, BOWHUNTER renders old time tunes to fuel a traditional dance floor frenzy. This was my first chance to hear them all together and let me tell you: They get it done, and they do it right. Theres going to be plenty of good dance music in the Midwest for some time to come. (Paul Tyler, the Volo Bogtrotters)
