Sing along and get into the holiday spirit!
Linda Russell explores history through music. Having served for many years as a balladeer for the National Park Service at Federal Hall, the site of Washington’s inauguration, Ms. Russell now takes her music to historic sites, schools and festivals throughout the country. New York City appearances have included Lincoln Center, The New York Historical Society and the Carnegie Hall Folk Festival.
