String Band, Village
El Village String Band has been entertaining audiences for over twenty years, giving Village residents and members of the Saddleback Emeritus Community the opportunity to have fun playing and singing their favorite country, folk and novelty tunes. We perform a concert of old favorites every year in early May and early December in Clubhouse Five with room for dancing in a BYOE environment.
And you are welcome as well if you play an instrument!
We meet every Thursday during the school year from 10 to 11:45 a.m.
Información del club
Originally called the LW Variety Band, we became known as the Village String Band in the early 2000s, when Saddleback Community College added it as an Instrumental Performance class in the Emeritus College curriculum. Louise Jacobs led the band since 2009. In 2020, when Louise retired, Alan Levin and his bass began to lead the Emeritus Class.
By 2024, the 28-plus members play acoustic and electric guitars, electric bass, slide guitar, ukuleles, both Soprano and Baritone, as well as drums, fiddles, accordion, auto-harp, harmonica and even a banjo-lele. Every spring at the beginning of May, and every Fall in December, we perform a full set of 20 or more songs at Clubhouse Five in a BYOE setting with room for dancing for Friends, Relatives and anyone who enjoys a tuneful good time.
In 2023, we lost one of our featured vocalists, Elsie Pearson, the former president of the club, who continued to perform and entertain as our oldest member, until age 95.
Officers are: President Sharone Rosen, Treasurer Debbie Byrne, Vern Smith, Melanie Delgado and Paul Lambert.
