Americana Troubadours Bill & Eli Perras present a Civil Rights Song & Story concert in honor of Black History Month at the Leesburg Public Library. This program combines live music with facts related to notable civil rights icons. All ages are invited to this free concert on Saturday, February 28th at 11:00 a.m.

This is more than a concert; it is an educational, storytelling and musical presentation that includes details related to notable civil-rights icons like Harry T. Moore, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Tuskegee Airmen. It includes events such as the Selma March and the Underground Railway. Audience participation is encouraged in this sing-along of civil-rights songs that were so prevalent during the '60's movement.

Bill and Eli Perras are a national touring, folk music act from DeLand, FL. The many inspired lyrics interpreted by Eli combined with Bill's bluesy finger-style guitar playing create a uniquely modern take on true Americana music in its purest form. Eli & Bill are regulars at many Florida folk music venues and festivals and frequently travel beyond the Sunshine State with their songs and stories.
