Events The Maple-Mud Show with the Swing Peepers

Come to the HayLoft for an entertaining morning with The Swing Peepers, a vocal-harmony and multi-instrument duo, performing inventive, earth-friendly and interactive songs and stories!

The Swing Peepers are lively, improvisational, and endearingly goofy. Instruments strummed, swung, and tapped include: guitar, mandolin, violin, harmonica, banjo, ukulele and accordion. Most songs and stories are participatory, and body movement is part of the action!

“You were great! What a fun family evening you gave us. It was a perfect combination of stories and song. Very upbeat – very swinging!”
