    The Libby Prison Minstrels is a five-piece band with guitars, banjo, mandolins, bass, harmonica, whistles and percussion and featuring three-part harmony. It is modeled after a real group of Union prisoners who performed in the infamous Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia, during the Civil War. The band's repertoire includes soldier songs (North and South), songs from home, Irish-American ballads, sea shanties, spirituals, period fiddle tunes and Early American dance music. Free concert will be in the Soda House.
