Come to the Craine Room for an educational concert of popular American music that has ties to our country’s veterans. In his new program, “Popular Music and Veterans”, Jon Waterman supplements his well-received "Roots of American Popular Music" program with an exploration through songs of some of the experiences and sacrifices of veterans throughout American history. The program consists of songs, history, and an accompanying slideshow pertaining to some of the experiences of veterans of World War I, World War II, the Civil War and other conflicts alongside the history of popular music in America.

This program is performed by Jon and Li Waterman as a duo. Admission is free and all are welcome. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Orleans Cultural Council, a local agency that is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
