Formed in 2014, Americana duo Dance Attic can charm the boots off even the most grizzly honky-tonker in town. Dressed in cowboy hats and colorful western wear, speed burning guitarist, Jimi Cooper and Accordion whiz, Suzi Ludwig, sing, smile, dance, and kazoo their way into the hearts and feet of their audience.
The pair perform a wide variety of music from clever rock covers of bands like the Cars and Blondie to the “(You name it) Polka.” Dance Attic has two albums of original music, a Christmas EP and a children’s book based on their song “Livin’ with a Bear”under its big, silver belt buckle.
The most recent alum “Livin’ for Today” was released in 2020 and features the songs “My Little Pink Wazoo”, and “We’re Gettin’ Saucy Tonight.
Dance Attic released their debut album “Cabin Fever” in 2017. It's available on iTunes, cdbaby.com and at live shows.
Their second album “Livin’ for Today” was released in July 2020.
Dance Attic celebrated a double release of their Christmas EP “At Christmas Time” and their children’s book “Livin’ with a Bear” on November 28, 2020. The book is based on the song of the same name from the second album “Livin’ for Today.” (Illustrated by Jimi Cooper).
In December 2020 Dance Attic released the music video “Dance Attic At Christmas Time Special” featuring videos for all the songs on their Christmas album. Viewable on YouTube or on the “Videos” tab. (Produced by Andrew Stern, Duluth, Mn).
