In 1984 Stephen started playing for English dance and then Contra and international and Scottish dance and has been happily fiddling away ever since. With a repertoire covering 'celtic' to klezmer, classical, latin and a bit of jazz, he can please most any crowd, be it in a pub or a wedding reception or a corporate banquet. A particular interest over the years has been playing in historic and re-enactment venues, hoping to maintain a link between the past and the present in music. Stephen has also been active in teaching both 'fiddle' and classical music since 1986.
For many years, Stephen Fuller and his many musical friends have been known as "Back Up and Push" when playing for traditional dance. This includes sixteen years as the house band for the Hamilton Country Dancers. (Keyboardist, D.J. Moons, musician and teacher in the Hamilton area, has also been part of "Back Up & Push" for several years.)
Performing at numerous events in the Hamilton-Wentworth Region and beyond, Back Up and Push has established a reputation for more than just its excellent contradance playing. With a repertoire which focuses on the traditional music of the British Isles and French Canada, band members enjoy exploring and performing varied musical styles.
Back Up & Push is frequently heard at community-group and business-sponsored events, keeping our musical heritage alive in an approachable and enjoyable fashion.
