DaddyLongLegs is the confluence of three well known Vermont musicians whose talents merge to form a highly original acoustic trio. David Gusakov, Rick Ceballos, and Matt Witten play with “exceptional skill and taste”, says Seven Days' music reviewer Dan Bolles. They are playful and dynamic, infusing catchy folk songs, Celtic and “oldtimey” melodies, and early minstrel and jazz pieces with passion and intricacy.
DaddyLongLegs “will take you on a musical journey around the world with their wonderful arrangements of traditional and original tunes” (The Ripton Community Coffee House). Between them, they p lay fiddle, viola, banjo, gourd banjo, piano, guitar, percussion, as well as sing, creating vibrant, sensitive and surprising 21st-century folk music.
Rick Ceballos is a banjo and button accordion player who has been playing and promoting traditional folk music in the Champlain Valley for over twenty five years. He has performed solo and with various groups. Ceballos recorded a solo CD of his original works in 2002 called ‘Spring is Near'. He has written music for film scores and often performs his History of the Banjo program for libraries and festivals
David Gusakov arrived in Vermont in 1973 and has been playing music in the state fulltime ever since. A long-time member of the Vermont Symphony, he has explored a variety of other genres with any number of ensembles. Currently, in addition to DaddyLongLegs, he plays as a member of Last Train to Zinkov with his son Nate, and Swing Noire, an acoustic Parisian jazz ensemble.
Matt Witten began his performing career on the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater with Pete Seeger and a bunch of other sailors and enviros. Witten's main gig is with the Swing Peepers , who carry on the tradition of earth-friendly songs for families in Vermont and surrounding states. With DaddyLongLegs, Witten plays guitar, keyboard, and percussion.
DaddyLongLegs have played in many Vermont venues including the Tinmouth Firehouse Music Series, Bristol Best Night, Spice on Snow Music Festival, Burlington City Arts Noontime Concert Series, and Burnham Music Series.
