The Orleans County String Band has performed at the square dance in Barre since 2018. They performed Appalachian string band music.
The members include Margaret Mathews as caller and teacher, Kathy Vandemortel of Point Breeze on the fiddle, Laurence Sugarman on the claw hammer banjo, and Laurie Hunt on bass.
