The Wandering Bow
During the Tree Treasures event on Saturday, December 13 at 1 p.m., the Courthouse Docket continues as The Wandering Bow performs music related to California history including early Californio hacienda dances and sea chanties of the clipper ships that sailed into San Francisco. They will also play music from the Civil War era, music representing some of the immigrant cultures and a variety of Victorian Christmas carols with some singalongs.
The Wandering Bow is a band formed by members sharing a mutual interest in 19th century music and history. The group started in 2018 and has members as far north as Mendocino and as far south as the Santa Cruz Mountains. They have performed at Civil War reenactments and other historical events. While The Wandering Bow is primarily a string band, it includes other instruments. Check out their Facebook site for more information.
