Stuart's musical interests range from New England contradance music to Cajun and Blues. His flexibility and personality allow
him to play with many successful dance bands. A former 13 year member of Wild Asparagus, Stuart has a long history with several
musicians. Although Stuart's music has brought him coast to coast, his musical home is at the Guiding Star Grange in Greenfield,
Massachusetts, where he plays for and hosts many dances. He and his wife Alice host the TopHill Music series of Contradance
