Songs and Stories of Old Canal Days

Songs and Stories of Old Canal Days In-Person

Dressed in period clothing, Matthew takes listeners back in time to feel what life was like for the men, women and children who ran the boats and tended the mules on the old canals and of the lock tenders who served dawn to dawn at the canal locks.  Matthew has collected a variety of songs written by the folks who were there, and he uses background stories (some humorous, some serious) to put the songs in the context of the times.  Matthew sings and plays acoustic guitar, harmonica, banjo and mandolin.
