MEDIA RELEASE__John Jantzen and Wendy Chappell-Dick gave themselves a challenge: learn 50 songs in celebration of America 250! Popular in America from colonial times to the Civil War, these are the songs of immigrants, Native Americans, and enslaved African Americans about life, faith, work, and play, all accompanied by dulcimer, guitar, spoons, and harmonica.

Many will recognize songs from the beloved Little House on the Prairie books. The duo has a calendar of seven performances beginning on July 4:

July 4 Presbyterian Church, 2:00 – 3:30  p.m.
