“Songs and Stories From the Civil War” will transport you back in time
to the most turbulent era in our nation’s history. Dressed as a 19th Century
performer, using period musical instruments, Bobby explores the stories of both the
North and South through the music they loved. Each song is placed in context with
historical background and portrays the struggles, hopes, and fears of Americans
during this long and bloody conflict.
These songs and stories tell of sweethearts and families left behind, fallen comrades,
the hope of going home, and the pride, bravery, and patriotism of the volunteers who
answered their country’s call. This is not just a performance for Civil War buffs but
for anyone who loves great music, inspired storytelling, and an evening of
unforgettable entertainment.

and music historian. For more than thirty years he has performed with the musicalcomedy
