Gordy Euler (fiddle, whistle, piano) is known for his work with Tunestruck, Full Moon, and Shanghaied on the Willamette, and as co-director of the Portland Megaband. As an active caller, tunesmith, and choreographer, Gordy calls for contra dances throughout the Northwest, and has long been active as a dance organizer in Portland. Gordy has also been a folk music DJ on community radio station KBOO for many years. Gordy contributes a strong fiddle lead, lilting whistle, and solid piano backup, though rarely all at the same time.

Keith Moe (fiddles) is a 20+ year veteran of the Portland Megaband. He also plays in Hands4, and was a third of The Steeltones contra dance band over its 5-year run. He played classical violin, tenor guitar, and uke in his younger days before discovering Scottish fiddle in Maine in the early '90s, which led him eventually to the joys of contra dance and its music. Keith lays down a steady lead and groove on fiddles.

Carl Thor (piano, mandolin) plays in Celtinalia, Hands4, the Portland Megaband, and in the regular rotation of musicians for Portland English country dances. Past bands include Austen City Limits, Cascade Crossing, Talisman, and numerous pickup bands and duos. His varied, driving piano style propels the music and the dancers ever forward, and his mandolin lends a bright color to the music.
