Description
This musical trip back in time features motion picture and newsreel footage from the 1920s and 30s of country, blues and jazz performers. Clips range from the iconic Jimmie Rodgers, Bob Wills, and early jazz masters Ted Weems and Frank Westphal, to anonymous jugs bands, fiddlers, and field hands.  The footage captures musicians at work in a vanished America  at barn dances, street corners, fiddlers conventions, and in the fields. Tom Sauber, Mark Graham, and Orville Johnson will share their encyclopedic knowledge of Americana and old-time music as they narrate these rarely seen film clips.  The trio will also perform a set of their own music, inspired and informed by blues, bluegrass, and American roots music.

Notes
Seating is guaranteed up to 10 minutes prior to showtime.
