Songs of and by the Women of the Civil War

Featuring Steve & Lisa Ball, living historians, musicians, and entertainers, Columbus.

Steve Ball last performed here four years ago as a solo act singing many of the popular tunes of the American Civil Ware and providing interesting tales about the people who composed and performed them. He’s been a musician and singer for over 40 years. For the past sixteen, he has combined his love of music with his interest in Civil War history performing at numerous events, festivals and reenactments across Ohio and nearby states. This time, he will be joined by his wife Lisa for another enjoyable evening focusing on songs written about or by women during the period. Some of the songs remain well-known today while others are seldom, if ever, heard. A few, however, have woven their way into our collective conscience and have become icons of American culture. Steve performs using a Civil War era Martin guitar with Lisa on upright bass and harmony vocals. Please plan to join us for another enjoyable evening of history through music.
