Home Front
Home Front is a group
of western Pennsylvania musicians who perform authentic Civil War era
music in period style. Home Front plays a wide selection of tunes
martial, sentimental, and patriotic, from both sides of the conflict
between North and South. Dressed in authentic fashions of the 1860s,
Home Front represents those who served the war effort from home. Music
was an important part of that effort. Music was played in the parlors
and the concert hall to encourage patriotic fervor, to soothe the pain
of separation from soldier sons and husbands, and to entertain the
troops themselves. Home Front strives to recreate that sound.

The Venango Brigade
The Venango Brigade is a unique combination of instruments performing music from the American Civil War as well as traditional American and Irish folk tunes. Using a straight forward approach to performing the music, the Venango Brigade gives the audience a highly entertaining and enjoyable experience while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere. Great for smaller settings or to add to the uniqueness of historical re-enactments and special occasions, the combination of the tin whistle (penny whistle) and rhythm bones provides the perfect touch without being overwhelming.
