Experience the Roots of American Music at the North Shore Historical Museum with The Homegrown String Band
Step back in time on Saturday, July 18 at 7:00 PM at the North Shore Historical Museum for an evening of acoustic storytelling. Long Island’s own Homegrown String Band will be giving a unique performance tracing the evolution of American music—from the ancient English, Scottish, and Irish ballads collected by Francis James Child to the blues, bluegrass, and country sounds of the early 20th century.
This isn’t just a concert; it’s a musical time machine. Utilizing authentic instrumentation—including the banjo, mandolin, ukulele, harmonica, and dulcimer—the band breathes new life into the traditional music of rural America.
