The New Pearl Buttons

New Pearl Buttons - Don, Rosa and SherryThe 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 with Rosa Wells (fiddle) as a trio. The group is available in 1860’s costume for all festivals and celebrations.

    Hubbard House Garden Party

    Time: 2:00 pm

    Join The New Pearl Buttons for a delightful afternoon of turn-of-the-last-century music on the beautiful grounds of the Hubbard House. We'll be wearing our summer whites and playing the hits of the day on fiddle, flute and piano. The garden grounds are stunning! No charge for the concert, but modest admission if you wish to tour the house. Yep; it's the Good Old Summertime, and we WILL be playing that tune, among lots of others! We're there 2-4 pm. Bring a lawn chair or blanket for seating on the grass.

    LeDuc Estate Civil War Sunday

    Time: 11:30 am

    Join The New Pearl Buttons for the greatest hits of the Sixties---the 1860s, that is! We'll be near the icehouse as usual, with three shows on Sunday afternoon (the event goes two days, but we're there Sunday only). We play songs and tunes beloved by Lincoln and the people who lived through the Civil War. Great family fun for this event, all over the grounds. Modest admission charged each day.
