Hayden Stern

Hayden Stern grew up attending Scottish fiddle camps, immersing himself in tradition at an early age. Shortly after arriving in Seattle, he discovered contra dancing, and with it a new community of like-minded LGBTQ musicians and dancers. Quickly emerging as a leader in this community, Stern is now producing events like TransTrad Festival in Olympia, as well as playing for dance events, festivals, and listening rooms across the United States.
