Traditional Folk Music Program

Cosby Gibson and Tom Staudle to Perform at Schoharie Crossing

Fort Hunter, NY – Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site will host the ever-talented Cosby Gibson and Tom Staudle as they perform Traditional Folk Songs on Sunday, October 11th at 1:00PM inside the Enders House on Schoharie Street in Fort Hunter. This hour-long program is part of the recognition of New York State History Month and Path Through History weekend and includes historic songs with an interesting narrative woven throughout.

Gibson and Staudle have researched the history behind traditional Americana and folk music to help bring a backstory to the songs we all recognize. Their upbeat, fun, traditional song program is great for singing along, or simply for diving into some nostalgia. The hour-long program includes fourteen songs that most everyone is familiar with or can learn on the spot.

The duo are award winning songwriters and singers that live near the Adirondacks in upstate New York. As a duo, they have been performing for nearly twenty years, and tour both regionally as well as nationally. Together they play original and fan favorites with a variety of instruments such as guitar, fiddle, banjo, and harmonica.  They can be heard in many settings such as festivals, concert series, livestreams, on the radio and at community events.

This program is free and open to the public. Held inside the Enders House on Schoharie Street, Fort Hunter, adjacent to our Visitor Center and Museum.  For more information, please call the Visitor Center: 518-829-7516 or email SchoharieCrossing@parks.ny.gov.
