Suzanne and Jim reach deep into their decades as Song-Chasers and pull out a double handful — and more — of traditional and historic songs that chronicle the American experience. Think of these as Legacy Songs — melodies sung as we have celebrated in joyous times, ballads that buoyed our spirits in troubled days, anthems that rallied us amid perilous events. In short, the soundtrack of our American story.
With their usual attention to skillful musicianship and harmonization Suzanne and Jim deliver songs inspired by great national events as in "The Sinking of the Titanic"; perhaps a melody from early 20th Century musical theater, "Pony Boy"; or the epic folk tragedy, "Frankie and Johnny"; and a bounty of songs that Americans sang wherever we gathered.
In this well researched program, Suzanne and Jim engage the audience with their authentically presented, handpicked selections from our country's musical heritage. Prepare to be delighted, informed and enchanted.
