Chris Vallillo
Abraham Lincoln in Song 
In a show endorsed by the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, award-winning folksinger Chris Vallillo uses Lincoln’s own words, stories and period folk songs to shed light on one of history’s most beloved figures. Abraham Lincoln was not only a remarkable leader, but a man who knew and loved many of these stories and songs himself. Join this interactive and accessible program which features vintage instruments (including one Lincoln used to play himself!). Abraham Lincoln in Song educates as well as entertains!
