TapRoot Sessions produces concerts featuring traditional music. In 2022 we are highlighting Women in Roots. With this series we will be providing performance opportunities for women of the trad music scene, and inspiring future generations of girls and women to participate and lead in the folk community. About the Eloise & Co.: Eloise & Co. features the combined creative force of two of the country’s most sought-after acoustic traditional musicians, Becky Tracy and Rachel Bell. These two crank out dance and concert music with unbridled energy and soaring beauty. Originally thrown together at a gig where Becky led the contra dance portion of the evening and Rachel led the French dance part of the evening, they have continued to fuse these two elements into their concerts and dances, as well as adding songs and original compositions to the mix. Their first recording, “More, Please” was released in July of 2018, and as the name suggests, they went on to record another album in June, 2021. Follow Eloise & Co. on Facebook. Becky Tracy: fiddle, octave fiddle, vocals. Rachel Bell: accordion, piano, vocals.
