Storyteller Jonathan Kruk and folk balladeer Rich Bala have been rambling the villages and valleys of the Hudson River and beyond since 1990, performing the region’s tunes, tales, and traditions at schools, museums, libraries, camps and historic sites. Their programs and workshops illustrate the Hudson’s many-faceted role in forging our nation, from its importance during the Revolutionary War, to its use as a major transportation route for sloops, steamboats, and canals during the 1800’s, and even today, as the focal point for the environmental movement.
