Tom MacKenzie
Folkids of Vermont is a group based in Burlington,Vermont that performs traditional New England dances and songs. Each new group of 10-17 year olds learns dances that were popular in Vermont in the late 1800s and then performs them to audiences around the region. At the end of a session, which lasts about a year, we travel overseas to spend two to three weeks in another country sharing our dances and songs with them. We then try to host a group from that country as they present their culture to Vermont. Tom MacKenzie is a full time musician from Vermont and plays Hammered Dulcimer and Banjo for the group.
