Whirligigs is a Kentucky Proud traditional string band that plays square dances and community events in the Louisville area.

—The 6-person band includes —

• Sarah Moran (fiddle): In addition to playing fiddle with Whirligigs, Sarah is a member of Squirrel Jam, a string band playing Kentucky tunes (with a little Irish & bluegrass for fun). Sarah is a recently retired French teacher and current bourbon educator in Louisville.
• Elizabeth Riesser (bass): Elizabeth keeps the beat on the bass for both the Whirligigs and Squirrel Jam. She can also be seen playing around town with Aseye drum ensemble.
• Jon Riesser (guitar): Jon enjoys providing guitar accompaniment for traditional music. He also plays in Squirrel Jam and The Cottonwood Buds, where you’ll catch him doing some flatpicking as well.
• Lisa Sandell (mandolin): On work days, with a lab coat and test tubes, Lisa holds up her cover story as a serious scientist studying vitamin A. On Whirligig band nights, she dons a fiddle and mandolin and her true inner cowgirl identity is revealed.
• Todd Childers (banjo): By day, Todd operates a small urban family farm. By night, you’ll find him at the old time jam, playing for a dance, or on his back porch picking out some new old tune.
• Katie McBride (guitar): Katie is a technical writer and editor who finds much joy in playing music for a room full of enthusiastic dancers. She also can be found picking tunes at bluegrass, old time, and Irish festivals with her mandolin or fiddle.
