Mama Doni, aka, Doni Zasloff Thomas, is a Montclair Mom, preschool music teacher, songwriter, and the lead singer in The Mama Doni Band, a quirky and energetic family-friendly band dedicated to making Jewish culture fresh and fun for people of all ages. The music is for everyone from “babies to bubbies,” they like to say. Mama Doni loves to share her passion for Jewish culture through a wild mix of original music including everything from reggae to rock, klezmer to “Jewgrass."

The band received the Simcha Award for "Inspiring Joy Through Music" at the International Jewish Music Festival Competition in Amsterdam, Holland, and Mama Doni just released her debut album called I Love Herring (and Other Fish Shticks For Kids). The band is doing concerts all over the country for JCCs, preschools, synagogues and festivals. Go to http://www.mamadoni.com/to hear some samples. The band includes Doni; Adam Nelson, guitar/album producer; Alexander Tyshkov, bass; and Ken Walz, drums.
