Let’s meet the two musician’s responsible for Perpetual E-motion…

Ed Howe & John Cote (Kennebec Valley, Maine) have made it clear that tradition is here to stay!

While the trend is to get up and get out for your weekend in many small towns and cities here in North America, you should add Perpetual E-motion to your list of healthy alternatives!

Perpetual E-motion has been touring the United States and Canada for over a year now and as the name implies they are gaining momentum! You can follow there tour calendar to your town and rave about the experience.

In an interview earlier this month John said, “we’re trying to create an experience on the floor both for our concert listeners and especially the dancers who are frequenting our shows.”

Perpetual E-motion has created an experience that people can identify with. You get a lot of social interaction on the dance floor while enjoying yourself.

“Our friends are interacting with people of different generations, older and younger. Younger musicians are coming to the table to provide music for these alt contra events. By experimenting with this style of music and having an outlet to play, it is always evolving,” John said.

When you attend an event with Perpetual E-motion, the dances are easy to learn and the people are generally accepting to newcomers!  The dance creates a range of dynamics and textures characteristic to the 10 minute long departures.

People coming to dance are doing just that. It’s not really about drinking or any of that stuff. It’s a really wholesome activity!

Watch for more to come from these guys as they prepare to tour Europe and Japan!
