Staircase Brawler, The

Reel · 4/4 · G mixolydian

The Staircase Brawler is a modern reel composed in 4/4 time by accordionist and composer Adam Matlock. Written in the G mixolydian mode, the tune features an energetic and driving character well suited to contemporary contra dance and session playing. Because it is a recently composed piece rather than an older folk tune, it does not carry traditional historical associations or centuries of established performance history.
