Tanglefoot is a rampaging mix of energy, musical agility, exquisite vocal polish and sheer enthusiasm.
Violinist/violist Sandra Swannell made her Tanglefoot debut in January 2006. Guitarist Steve Ritchie has the longest tenure, having joined in 1988. Toronto bass player Al Parrish has been around since 1994. The multi-faceted Terry Young joined in 1999, playing mandolin, guitar, tenor and five-sting banjo, harmonica and whistle. Most recently, former Tanglefoot piano player and songwriter Rob Ritchie has returned to the band. In the intervening five years he toured as a solo performer, released a solo album Five O'clock Shadow, and became a published author (Orphans of Winter; Seraphim Editions).

Dance Like Flames is Tanglefoot's most recent album; it coincided with the addition of Sandra Swannell. "The talented ensemble has emerged from the changes with a sound that has more dimension than ever," said Dirty Linen, while Sing Out! called it "...a riveting musical journey; you feel the satisfaction of having read an engrossing novel."
