Dreamer and the Hoping Machine, the Family Folk Machine Band

Dreamer and the Hoping Machine, the Family Folk Machine band, will be performing their inaugural concert on February 26 at the James; doors 6:30, concert time 7-9.

Dreamer and the Hoping Machine is made up of Family Folk Machine directors Jean Littlejohn, Jon Ranard, and Alma Drake, and is rounded out with local music scene powerhouses Laurie Haag, Pappy Klocke, Kylie Buddin, and Geb Thomas, all FFM alumni.

After the Spring 2025 FFM concert, the band decided to become a “regular band,” and to focus on performing many of the songs that have been written by members of the choir, for the choir. They are excited to give these songs new life in this new configuration.
