AMERICA THE GREAT CABARET SERIES-Walt Woodward & the BOSH

Prior to serving as Connecticut’s fifth State Historian (now State Historian emeritus) and a member of the University of Connecticut history faculty in 2004, Walt Woodward was an award-winning hit songwriter, producer of music for television and radio, and multi-Clio winning advertising creative director.  The BOSH, or the Band of Steady Habits, is an acoustic band that came together to share their love of music and share their love of history and storytelling.  Rachel Smith, Teagan Smith, Jeremy Teitelbaum, Walt Woodward, and Duke York use banjo, guitars, violin, recorders, bass, percussion, and beautiful harmonies to perform songs – some old, some original, and some contemporary – to accompany visually rich and evocative historical stories. The stories provide new insights and perspectives into topics ranging from the Civil War, to the uniqueness of Connecticut, to the poetry of Robert Frost.  Their presentation will include stories about The Irish in CT.
