The New Pearl Button Players
The New Pearl Button Players perform American music of the mid to late 19th century (circa 1845-1900). The ensemble includes mandolin, singers, flute and piano and often plays historic sites in Wisconsin and Minnesota, including the Historic LeDuc Estate in Hastings, MN and several festivals. Recently the band has teamed up with author-illustrator team Dave Geister and Pat Bauer to present educational readings and programs to audiences of all ages, based on their new book B Is For Battle Cry: A Civil War Alphabet.
The “Pearl Buttons” perform with Don and Sherry Ladig (flute, vocals and piano) as a duo, or as a trio with the addition of John Wenstrom on mandolin and vocals. The group is available in 1860’s costume for all festivals and celebrations.
