showCelebrate 250: Colonial Drinking Songs and Toasts
Mon, Sep 14 · 6:30 PM
Fraunces Tavern® Museum · Financial District
Raise a glass to freedom and sing along to traditional songs from the colonial era performed by Anne Enslow and Ridley Enslow. These songs, performed on authentic 18th-century instruments, would have been heard in taverns across the colonies throughout the colonial era and American Revolution. As always, Anne and Ridley perform in 18th-century dress and on instruments of the period—hammered dulcimer and a 1776 violin. They will have their little dancing man called a limberjack, who pleases audience members from 9 to 90! Before each song Anne will provide an interesting and entertaining introduction to the piece, setting the context in American history. Join us in celebrating the 250th and singing to the tune of revolution!
