The Casco Bay Tummlers are well known for inspiring and soulful performances that range from traditional klezmer to related roots genres - to original music that stretches those boundaries. For this special concert, the Tummlers will be collaborating with keyboard legend Jamie Saft. (And it being Halloween weekend, they’ll definitely be playing the Tummlers hit - The KlezZombies!)

Jamie Saft is a virtuoso pianist, keyboardist, producer, and composer. His stylistic versatility, multi-instrumentalist capabilities, and production skills have been featured with Beastie Boys, Bad Brains, HR, The B-52s, John Zorn, John Adams, Laurie Anderson, Donovan, Antony and the Johnsons, and Iggy Pop. Saft leads the New Zion Trio, Jamie Saft Trio, and Jamie Saft Quartet. Saft has collaborated with legends of music including Wadada Leo Smith, Roswell Rudd, Marshall Allen, Danny Ray Thompson, Dave Liebman, Joe Morris, Hamid Drake, Bobby Previte, Steve Swallow, Darryl Jenifer, and Cyro Baptista.

ARTIST BIOS

The Casco Bay Tummlers:

• Carl Dimow - flutes and guitar
• Steve Gruverman - clarinet and sax
• Nancy 3. Hoffman - accordion and vocals
• John Clark - bass
• Peter McLaughlin - drums

The Tummlers have a unique sound and a stage performance that features all members of the band. Steve Gruverman brings an extensive background in ethnic dance music to his soulful clarinet playing. Carl Dimow has developed a distinctive klezmer flute style, making the instrument an equal solo voice in the music. John Clark is an incredibly versatile bass player–everything from symphony to surf–perfect for the Tummlers' eclectic approach to klezmer. Nancy 3. Hoffman brings a playfulness that audiences love to both her accordion playing and her singing. Peter McLaughlin keeps the traditional role as drummer happening with elements of jazz and improvisation.
