Baba Yaga’s Hut Presents:

Shovel Dance Collective + special guest Laura Cannell

Join nine talented musicians as they bring their 4th annual Christmas celebration to Grand Junction, exploring the folk traditions of England, Scotland, Ireland and beyond.

Nurturing the history of the source material, they bring sensibilities drawn from drone, free improvisation, and metal. In so doing, aiming to uncover proto-feminist narratives and queer histories, and to make heard the voices of the working people that created and create the wealth of the world.
