WineLand Banjo Band A California Non-Profit Corporation
Music from Northern California Wine Country
(click on photo to enlarge) Who We Are:
The WineLand Banjo Band consists of musicians from many locations in Northern California, including the Livermore Valley, Sonoma Valley, Gold Country, Shenandoah Valley, and San Jose areas. Some of the members drive long distances just to attend our weekly get together in Livermore, California. Instruments include 4-string plectrum banjos, bass guitar, washboards, and various percussion devices.
We play and sing nostalgic songs of yesterday composed from the gay-90’s through the 40’s. Seniors are delighted to hear familiar sing-a-long tunes. Younger people are excited because this style of music is novel to them. How often do you hear lots of 4-string banjos happily strumming together? Enthusiastic toe tapping and singing characterize our audiences.
