New Hampton Historical Society Presents:
Songs of Old New Hampshire
Tuesday, September 17th at 7:00 PM
Gordon-Nash Library, 69 Main Street, New Hampton
Drawing heavily on the repertoire of traditional singer Lena Bourne Fish (1873-1945) of Jaffrey and Temple, New Hampshire, Jeff Warner offers the songs and stories that, in the words of Carl Sandburg, tell us "where we came from and what brought us along." These ballads, love songs and comic pieces, reveal the experiences and emotions of daily life in the days before movies, sound recordings and, for some, books. Songs from the lumber camps, the decks of sailing ships, the textile mills, and the war between the sexes offer views of pre-industrial New England and a chance to hear living artifacts from the 18th and 19th centuries. Click here for the flyer.
Our presenter, Jeff Warner, is among the nation's foremost performers/interpreters of traditional music. His songs connect 21st century audiences with the everyday lives-and artistry-of 19th century Americans.
NHHS thanks New Hampshire Humanities for providing our Presenters and Programs.
Our programs are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Please Join us.
