Seven Times Salt marks the 250th anniversary of the nation with music. Our tour of early America traces a musical lineage from the first settlers at Plimoth to their descendants on the eve of the Revolution and eventual victory at Yorktown. English catches and early shape note hymns lead to songs of liberty, rants against taxation and tyranny, wartime laments, and even some of George Washington’s favorite dances! The program includes selections from Catch That Catch Can, the Bay Psalm Book, and dance tunes from 18th-c. American manuscripts.
