Live music with dancing wooden puppets
Bring a string band whose wooden limberjacks dance along
Long Hill String Band
The Long Hill String Band combines live acoustic music with jointed wooden limberjack figures, including Woody and costumed companions, animated on a paddle in rhythm with the musicians. Its current performer page identifies this puppet repertoire, and the band accepts direct event-booking inquiries.
Current location note / listed area: New Jersey-based ensemble; commissioned-event inquiries
Organizational or custom-event inquiry; acceptance of a private social celebration requires confirmation. Agree the actual puppet repertoire, musicians, audience suitability, performance length, sound, space, access, travel and date. Current public appearances demonstrate activity, not a guaranteed festival set or private slot. No guest puppet handling, separate puppet-making workshop or wedding package is implied. The band is one operator, not separate listings for its members or wooden characters.
