Welcome to Dave Wiesler's home page. Dave is one of the nation's
premier pianists for country dances and various forms of ballroom dance.
February, 2012. Another of my (many, many!) tunes has been recorded recently. Bare Necessities put the dance Hideaway onto their Volume 15 CD of English country dances from the Boston Centre, Fast Friends: Dances of Gary Roodman. And another CD featuring some of my playing is just out. Deby Benton Grosjean, a California fiddler and orchestrator, has a new CD, Healing Well, that I'm playing a couple of tracks on. Check out both recordings.
I'll be playing at two dance camps this summer, and both promise to be great. Starting July 28, I'll be at Pinewoods for my first ever CDSS American Week. In August (12th-19th) I'll be playing at the CDSS Adult and Family Week at Timber Ridge in West Virginia. I strongly encourage you to come!
