The New Pearl Buttons
The New Pearl Buttons 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.

This is the LAST Scottish Ramble at Landmark! Sadly, all good things come to an end. After nearly 20 years, the festival showcasing All Things Scottish--food, music, dancing, vendors, symposia, demos--will hear its last bagpipe tune. I'm there at about 1:30 pm with Thistledown, playing dance music for Fligmagearie and the RSCDS dancers, as well as some of our band's featured stuff.Modest admission charge; bring the whole gang!
