Meet/Greet @ 6:30 pm. Reggie and Greg have a unique story. Born 3 days apart, ancestry flowing through the same portal of history, Richmond, VA, they are on a pilgrimage together—one that began three decades ago. The racial divisions that are the reality of America started them in two different worlds, but the amazing bonds of music, respect, admiration and shared vision has brought them together as friends and colleagues. An experience that makes you laugh, smile, cry and reconsider what you know about our history. “…a profoundly moving evening of deep sharing and stellar musicianship.” ~Margie Rosenkranz, Eight Step.

Oswego has a history of being a sanctuary city for Freedom Seekers— when Oswego was a stop on the Underground Railroad and for Jewish refugees during WWII. In fact, Oswego has more known UGRR sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places than any other county in the U.S. Oswego’s story extends beyond our borders into neighboring counties (and a neighboring country!) with roots spawned in the South.
Special Guests Tim Hotchkiss, Allie Proud, Pastors Andrew & James Hinman, Ed Elsner, Dot Willsey, Audrey Hurley, and Kelly Jordal who represent the Bristol Hill Church, Starr Clark Tin Shop Museum, Gerritt Smith Estate and gift, the UGRR Consortium of NYS and the Safe Haven Holocaust Refugee Shelter Museum.

Prior to the evening’s performance, concertgoers will have an opportunity to meet and mingle with our guests representing organizations dedicated to keeping the history of our region alive. They will be able to take brochures, information on future events, and purchase items for sale which support their cause. Wheelchair accessible.
