Yes, ask. Talk with them about the circumstance, be sure they understand that you value them too. Offer them free admission to the out of town musicians dance. The out of town musicians play "different" music sets, not necessarily "better".

Hey all,

I have a bit of a quandary. I just found out two incredible contra musicians will be in my area. They will be here the day after our local dance. I have a small quasi local band booked already.

Here is the question - is it ethical to ask booked band to change their date (they play a lot in our dance) IF visiting musicians are available & willing?

Thanks in advance,
Mary (Buffalo)
