Humanities Project: Siemsen presents Songs and Stories of the American Dustbowl

Craig Siemsen has entertained fans of acoustic music for years with a blend of original songs, folk and old timey country music.  With his whimsical story-telling and wit, audiences find themselves laughing and toe tapping during these memorable performances.

Siemsen will present a program based on the real life experiences of his family during the Dust bowl in central Kansas.  Siemsen explores the “Dirty Thirties” with familiar and original songs, stories and wit as told by his kin.  Focusing on those who survived this natural tragedy, Siemsen explores the work ethic and humor that helped them make it through those dark days.
