Donald Saaf and the Little Hope String Band
Little Hope String Band

When Donald Saaf and the Little Hope String Band reach into their bag of songs, they might come up with anything from the last hundred years. From turn of the century parlour songs to Toots and the Maytals dance numbers. From waltzes to polkas to songs of Billie Holiday. They take songs from every where and filter them through a rootsy, rag-tag, joyous, jugband sort of sound. They play music that truly appeals to all ages. Donald has recorded extensively with children's performer Dan Zanes on Festival Five Records, as well as creating the artwork for those C.D.s. He plays guitar, harmonica, mandolin, tenor banjo, and does most of the singing. The other members include bassist extrordinaire Matt Sharff on the standup bass, and puppeteer Finn Campman on the cardboard box and oilcan. Another part time member is the amazing Phil Bloch on violin. They are presently working on recording a new C.D. of wedding party music.

The Nines Band

Simba is southern Vermont's premier worldbeat dance band. Started in 1989, its eight members work throughout the New England area as soloists, accompanying other artists and doing recording work.

Simba is where they bring their personal creative talents together. The band has evolved into a high-energy dance band, drawing upon African, reggae, Caribbean, Latin, jazz and funk influences to create their own unique and vibrant sound. Simba features several multi-instrumentalists allowing their sound to range from guitar/horn section funk to Caribbean steel drum, from West African balafon grooves and hand percussion to jazz sextet and even klezmer orchestra.
