The Band

Home Front is a group of western Pennsylvania musicians who perform authentic Civil War era music in period style. Home Front plays a wide selection of tunes martial, sentimental, and patriotic, from both sides of the conflict between North and South.

Dressed in authentic fashions of the 1860s, Home Front represents those who served the war effort from home. Music was an important part of that effort. Music was played in the parlors and the concert hall to encourage patriotic fervor, to soothe the pain of separation from soldier sons and husbands, and to entertain the troops themselves. Home Front strives to recreate that sound. Their new CD, "Home Again," is now available from the band.
