What we do ...

The Over the Water Hurdy-Gurdy Association (OTW for short) is a group of hurdy-gurdy players, builders, and aficionados based mostly in Western Washington (USA). We put on French music jams and dances in the Seattle area (with live hurdy-gurdy music, of course) and an annual hurdy-gurdy festival and Saturday dance on the Olympic Peninsula. For more information, please select from the links above or write to us via regular mail (at the address above) or e-mail at info@overthewater.org.

The Over the Water Hurdy-Gurdy festival brings together hurdy-gurdy players, builders and teachers for intensive instruction, jamming, fellowship and good food.
