The George Mason Folklore Program is pleased to present a special evening with Scottish folk musicians Alan Reid and Rob van Sante (formerly of Battlefield Band). They will be performingThe Adventures of John Paul Jones, a program of songs, stories, and images centered on the life and times of eighteenth-century Scottish-born mariner John Paul Jones, widely regarded as the ‘Father’ of the US Navy. Tracing his voyages, his international sojourns, and his encounters with an array of famous contemporaries, the show creates an engaging portrait of a figure who played a brief yet pivotal role on the world stage at a time of great upheaval in both Europe and North America.
