Short bio: The Dam Beavers are Ben Schreiber on fiddle, Scotty Leach on piano, and Ness Smith-Savedoff on drums. With roots in a wide variety of styles and genres, their music comprises an eclectic mix of old and new, familiar and unfamiliar. Let the current sweep you away as the Dam Beavers build a dam of rhythm beneath your feet.

Long bio: Once upon a time there was a small rodent named Bevo who woke up suddenly one morning after having a really good dream. In this dream, he had seen dancers dancing and smiling together, all moving in sync to a three piece band of beavers playing instruments. Bevo set out to find the musicians he had seen in his vision. He looked in rivers, lakes, and even ponds! To his dismay, he couldn't find any beavers that played music or even had any interest in playing an instrument. Since Bevo had already booked a contra dance weekend with his Beaver band, he called Ben Schreiber, Scotty Leach, and Ness Smith-Savedoff to fulfill his vision. Luckily, they all were super excited about Bevo's ideas. As Bevo hung up the phone, Scotty heard him exclaim, "Those Dam Beavers!!!" and that's how our name was born.
