At a time of great political divide, we are bringing the show to our nation’s capital for the American Revival show. Music ties us together as we sing songs of old — the songs we should all know by memory. We have performed in Washington, D.C., more than 15 times, with some of the most fabulous audiences in the country.

At a time of great political divide, we are bringing the show to our nation’s capital for the American Revival show. Music ties us together as we sing songs of old — the songs we should all know by memory. We have performed in Washington, D.C., more than 15 times, with some of the most fabulous audiences in the country. Check out a few of our favorite clips below where we focus on our visit.

Our show at The Anthem, October 21st at 8:00 p.m. will include our actors, Tim Russell and Fred Newman; our songstress, Heather Masse; our opera diva, Ellie Dehn; our celebrated Broadway music director, Rob Fisher; our favorite fingerstyle guitarist, Pat Donohue; and Richard Dworsky at the piano, directing The Friendly String Quartet.
