In 35 years of playing together, close to 300 musicians have contributed to the sound of Roaring Jelly. Some have stayed many years, other have passed through but briefly. As few as a handful or as many as 40 have gathered together at any given time - fiddles, whistles, flutes, trombones, accordions, mandolins, banjos, saxophones, guitars, piano, bass, and percussion - ready to create music together. All have helped shape the sound of this ever-changing, vibrant band known for its spirited, joyful playing at local contra dances.

Music Director Debby Knight and 34 band members offer over an hour of music (13 dance sets and waltzes) with a colorful 12 page descriptive booklet.
