Music of the American Revolution

In honor of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, step back in time with Anne and Ridley Enslow as they perform music on a hammered dulcimer and a violin dating back to 1776.

Join Anne and Ridley Enslow for a concert of lively 18th-century songs about the struggle for American Independence. The show will include “liberty songs,” humorous ballads lampooning the British troops, and songs celebrating American victories, plus drinking songs and a dance tune or two. There will even be a song by a signer of the Declaration of Independence about the so-called Battle of the Kegs. Come prepared to join in some entertaining toasts too, and “raise a glass to freedom.” As always, Anne and Ridley perform in 18th-century dress and on instruments of the period—a hammered dulcimer and a 1776 violin. They will also have their little dancing man called a limberjack, who pleases audience members from 9 to 90!
