McMaple, a Vermont-based cover band, plays songs you forgot you knew! They play an eclectic array of music from classic rock, to pop, and alternative. Their setlist changes just enough to keep the audience guessing. They aim to keep toes tapping and have everyone singing and dancing along! The name “McMaple” is a combination of McCaffrey (Cait and Liam) and Maple (Brian). One night a few years ago, Brian and Cait were out supporting local bands when someone jokingly said, “ the McMaples are here!” and it stuck.
Originally formed in 1971, the group evolved into a traveling club group that toured New England for several years and then lay dormant until 1995, when five of the original members decided to “get the band back together”! Since then, they have performed regularly, covering great horn bands including Tower of Power, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Chicago, Earth, Wind & Fire and other horn-focused music from Santana, the Beatles, Motown, and more, as well as a number of powerful originals. A huge sound with 4-part harmonies and a 5-piece horn section on a foundation of guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, Satin & Steel is the kind of band you rarely see around anymore.
