American History Through Musical Themes: Using a narrative, combined with employing standard and non-standard American music through a live band, our history comes alive. The premise of this program is to tie together a historical theme with musical aides, interactivity & props. Steve engages the audience's imagination in the music presented. Instruments incorporated into this program's music are: fifes, drums, banjo, bass and guitar. This concert program is ideal for school assemblies, museums and historical settings. It's been tested, tried and successful.


Newly added "A Visit With Ben Franklin": As the stage curtain opens, Steve Pullara is playing a tune on his fife that he just heard from the soldiers marching in front of his studio. He's dressed in authentic 1700's garb. After playing it, he asks the apprentices (his audience) if they know what new tune it is. Upon hearing that recognizable melody the audience shouts out "It's Yankee Doodle" enter ... Dr. Ben Franklin (as portrayed by renowned historical intepretor Bill Ochester.) Steve then asks Doctor Franklin if he knows about this new music. Doctor Franklin explains the tune's meaning and goes over why he is in Philly at an important meeting drafting up a Declaration of Independence. He also adds a fun interactive story about his famous Key and Kite Experiment. Audiences will be amazed at this unique presentation by this detailed portrayal and scenario.

After Ben shares his witty dialogue with the audience, he will be encouraged by Steve to pose in a chair for his portrait. Whereby, the next fifteen minutes of this program are spent teaching the audience how to draw Ben Franklin's likeness by using the letters of the alphabet. Steve will then instruct the audience using a large easel with this technique. Audiences are encouraged to follow the instructor with paper and pencil by copying Steve's unique drawing method of shapes that they know. Upon completion, participants will be encouraged to hold up their pictures for all to see. Everybody will have a wonderful keepsake of that portrait drawing from this fun and memorable event.

The last five minutes of this program ends with a sending song to give closure to the whole event. After that song is sung, Ben and Steve treat the audience to a question and answer session about that period in history. They conclude by posing for pictures with the attendees.
