Profile:

Floorplay whips traditional styles into a rock-steady delight. It's hard to believe there's only three of them! You'll go "whoo!" on the Klezmer, stomp to the Old-Time, jazz-hands at the rags, and flirt for the French tunes.

"The best named band in the history of the world."
- C-ville: Charlottesville's News and Arts Weekly, Jan. 15-21, 2008

"If there was a local contra supergroup, it would be Floorplay."
- Floyd County Contradance Web Site

"It's great to work with a band that has a caller in it."
- Tom Hinds
