Witness Tree Reunion Presents: An American Folk Journey
Travel through 250 years of American folk song with father and daughter folk duo Witness Tree Reunion. The program will highlight American folk, folk-rock, and bluegrass favorites from the American Revolution to the 21st century, featuring songs by Paul Simon, Woodie Guthrie, James Taylor, Joan Baez, and more.
Musicians Matt and Maddy Miskie, a father and daughter folk duo hailing from Central Pennsylvania and Central Maryland, bring a spirit of nostalgia, connection, and fun to their live performances through thoughtfully crafted programs. “Witness Trees” of many kinds exist all around the world. Some are living witnesses to a specific historical event. Some are denizens, designated as special meeting places, and still others may be specific to family. Thus, Witness Tree Reunion performances take audiences on an evocative musical journey to special places in time. Join us as we commemorate America’s 250th anniversary with a musical celebration!
This is a free event, but a free-will offering will be taken. Donations collected the day of the event will be shared between the performers and the ministries of the Sisters of Bon Secours.
