Period Music and Native American Drumming and Dance a Highlight of the Show
Scheduled musicians and performers include the Bush Native American Drum and Dance, and the musical duo Jim’s Red Pants.
Members of the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Potawatomi Indians, the Bush Native American Drum and Dance tell the story of their People through their outstanding drumming, singing, and dancing. As the Pokagon Potawatomi tribal educational material states: “…the drum for the Nishnabe has special meaning: it represents the heartbeat of our people. The word dwégén has its root in the word odé, which means heart in our language. In a traditional sense, our instruments are more than simple material objects we use to make music. They are representative of where we come from, our connection to Nokmeskignan, Grandmother Earth.” The Bush Native American Drum and Dance perform at many pow wows and historical festivals. They are always great favorites wherever they appear, and their music and dance are eloquent representations of a vibrant culture.
As the musical duo “Jim’s Red Pants,” Rick and Hillary Wagner play a variety of original, historic, and contemporary American, Celtic, Scandinavian, and other world folk music. Rick and Hillary have performed at many living history events, including the Feast of the Hunters’ Moon, Mississinewa 1812, Roscoe Village, the Lore of the Laughery, Ohio Folk Festival, Penn’s Colony, and Caesar’s Creek Pioneer Village. They have recorded six CD’s. In addition to their main instruments of fiddle and guitar, Rick and Hillary play Norwegian Hardanger Fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki, penny whistle, concertinas (Anglo and English style), flute, and banjo.
