David Rosane & the Zookeepers won the 2019 Tammy Award for the best Vermont Album. They will be performing at the Hardwick Town House on Saturday, August 17 at 7 pm by donation at the door. All proceeds will go to the Jeudevine Expansion Fund. This is a high energy band which should rock the hall!

For the second summer in a row they are touring Vermont libraries donating their creativity to 16 libraries. This year's tour title is "Across the Zoo-niverse," paralleling with the Summer Reading Program theme used by libraries all over the country: "A Universe of Stories."

The trio includes frontman David Rosane with partners in crime musicians and community activists Don Sinclair & Jennifer Grossi, of Bradford, Vermont. Bandmate Jennifer Grossi added, "In many communities in Vermont, libraries are the only places some people can access the Internet. And we're lucky in Vermont-- there are more libraries here per capita than in any other state!" They describe their music as Indie folk-rock/pop and rather 'nerdy,' as they are academics, teachers and community activists by day, hence the library tour.

There will an opening set by Kyle Woolard of West Glover who is part of the band The Anatomy of Frank. He was recently featured at the Highland Center for the Arts. Find him at www.theanatomyoffrank.com.
