Powers_Run_Schoolhouse_BandThe Powers Run Schoolhouse Band traces the history and vision of the music and songs of the Western PA region. Using banjo, dulcimer, fiddle, percussion, and voices, Jeff Berman, Sue Powers, and Jan Hamilton-Sota present an interactive program of music, songs and stories that highlight the diverse cultural landscape that contributed to our region's rich musical heritage. From its roots to its branches, the group explores where the music's inspiration sprang from and what its influence has been on contemporary music.
