Welcome to Relative Harmony !
(formerly Rick and Judy)

Relative Harmony is an acoustic trio comprised of Rick Avery (voice, keyboards and guitar); Judy Greenhill (voice), our son Jonathan Avery (violin and percussion); and on occasion, our daughter Katie Avery (violin). We perform a wide variety of British and North American folk music, a sampling of which is listed on the many CDs we've released.

With Judy as caller, Relative Harmony has been playing for Contra, Square and English Country dances since the turn of the millennium. Our style is influenced by the playing of many of the current New England dance bands, and is sure to keep you on your toes with a strong, steady back-beat and energetic fiddling. We have performed all over Ontario, including Ottawa, Owen Sound, Toronto and Hamilton; in the U.S.; and at a plethora of school, community, camp and wedding dances.

To discover the diversified talents of this group, please follow the "What We Offer" link above. Some of these offerings are:

• Live entertainment for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and other special events
• String Quartet - advanced students playing a variety of pops and light classics
  
• Celtic or Old-Tyme Band with optional square-dance caller
  
• Strolling minstrels
• Camp-style singalongs
  
• Teacher Workshops in Dance
• Elementary School Music Programs
• Social Studies & History Programs
