Red Dog Riley is a contra dance band from Cornwall, Vermont.

We play music for contra and square dances, weddings, private events, and anyplace else people love to dance. We draw our inspiration from fiddle-based traditions around the world, bringing them all in to our own sound.

Here is a clip from a recording session, 2019:
