"Everyone's favorite rambunctious bad boy band"

From Washington's elegant Kennedy Center to a Capitol Hill dive bar to the fabled Glen Echo Spanish Ballroom, Frog Hammer has been exciting contra and ceilidh dancers since 2010 with high energy music drawing from the English ceilidh tradition, the American contra dance repertoire and far beyond. Think 'Playford meets Cab Calloway.' Contact us for bookings!
