Elixir is a high energy
dance combination that blends superb calling, driving fiddle and
guitar playing, and the rich texture and rhythmic excitement of
a full horn section. Elixir performs tightly-crafted music drawing
on a wide range of styles and evoking a variety of moods. Elegant
melodies evolve into raucous dixieland horn riffs; transcendent
harmonies, playful improvisations, and rock, swing and reggae-inspired
rhythms weave in and out of traditional and original Irish, French
Canadian and New England tunes.
