Our history is told not only by the written word but also by the words spoken and songs sung. This oral history is what Carl Sandburg coined “The American Songbag”. This Songbag is a mélange, a history of American people from disparate cultures and countries, coming together here, in the United States. Travel Songs. Cowboy Songs. Songs of praise. Cultural standards and popular songs. These songs continue to weave a singular tapestry. From Noel Coward to John Cougar Mellencamp. Dolly Parton and Chris Stapleton to Aaron Copland, Paul Simon and beyond. With Musical Direction by Brad Simmons, featuring Sean Harkness, Skip Ward and Dave LeBlanc.

My “songbag’ is filled with the memories and love of this country, as viewed and told by one particular American boy.

Will Friedwald (WallStreetJournal) has called Reid, “One of the outstanding singers of our time…”

Oliver Reid in “Drop Me Off In Harlem” https://www.toliverreid.com/bucknell-university-presents-t-oliver-reid-in-drop-me-off-in-harlem https://www.toliverreid.com/bucknell-university-presents-t-oliver-reid-in-drop-me-off-in-harlem#comments Fri, 22 Jan 2016 21:42:31 +0000 toliver http://www.toliverreid.com/?p=819 The critically acclaimed “Drop Me Off In Harlem” comes to Bucknell University!

In 1934, on a Saturday night in New York City, if you were boozin’ and jazzin’, you were doing it in Harlem. “Drop Me Off In Harlem” is an evening of club-hopping to the music of Harold Arlen, Duke Ellington, Andy Razaf and others…through the elegant nightclubs and working class speakeasies that made uptown gay and delightful however dull and depressing downtown Manhattan may have been.

With Lawrence Yurman, Ray Kilday,  Kevin Bryan and Tony Tedesco
