The Back Porch Series

The Best Southern Music You Never Heard!

Authentic Music of the Civil War

Performed by Bobby Horton

Saturday, September 16 at 7:30PM

at Dillon Park, Woodbury, TN

It was General Robert E. Lee that said you can't have an army without music. Bobby Horton is considered by many to be an expert in the field of historical music of the War Between the States, but, above and beyond that, he a very accomplished musician, who has turned out CD after CD of top notch period music.

Residing in Birmingham, Alabama, Bobby Horton has contributed to many project's, such as the following Ken Burns' specials: "The Civil War," "Baseball," "Thomas Jefferson," "Lewis and Clark," "Frank Lloyd Wright." He has also contributed to the Talonsoft computer games "Shiloh" and "Antietam." These as many, other productions bear the talent of this established musician. Bobby Horton continues to contribute to documentary films, as well as playing live as a solo artist, as well as with his long-time band Three on a String.

Using mostly period instruments, Bobby Horton has translated the tunes of yester-year into an exciting and foot-stompin' time for all today. He recreates the passion of this music, from the optimistic, boastful tunes early in the war, to the mournful, heartfelt songs written after tens of thousands of men had fallen, never again to see their loved ones.

Bring your picnic basket and lawns chairs and join us in Dillon Park on Saturday, September 16th at 7:30PM as we step back in time with Bobby Horton for an evening of Civil War reels, waltzes, and traditional tunes. In addition Civil War re-enactors will set up a camp to spotlight the reality of camp life and answer questions about the War Between the States. Ticket prices are $5 for adults; children 12 and under are free. Dillon Park is approximately one mile from The Arts Center located in the town of Woodbury just off Highway 70.
