Flight Path

About Me

Flight Path plays contra dance music from various genres, primarily Old Time and Celtic, but potentially including anything that attracts our interest. These are mostly traditional tunes, although some recently composed tunes are included as well.

Arrangements draw inspiration from many sources (who should not, however, be held accountable for the results).

The band's name is a reference to the sonic ambience of our practice location, under the approach to San Diego's Lindburgh Field.

Kellyn plays a fiddle which was once played by her mother at the National Oldtime Fiddlers' Contest in Weiser, ID.

For more info about San Diego contra dances, please visit our friends at San Diego Folk Heritage Organization .
