An innovative dance band from Western NY & PA, TuneScape nudges the
border between traditional music and modern groove. Inspired by the
tunes of Ireland, New England, Quebec, and Appalachia, TuneScape
creates an unmistakeable sound of power and beauty.

From its inception, TuneScape has been exploring music outside the
bounds of New England contra dance. Tunes of Quebec, Appalachia,
Ireland, and elsewhere are woven into their repertoire, and they
attempt to stretch the format of traditional dance music. Still,
their interest in other genres generates an obsession with rhythmic
integrity and the sustaining pulse that is the essence of dance
music. The listener could never miss the underlying drive of much of
TuneScape's music.
