About the Artist
Mick Doherty, Gayle Neuman and Phil Neuman have decades of performing and teaching experience. OTT performs programs of “history through music” that are historically rich and musically delightful.
Teaching Philosophy
OTT strives to bring to life the music and words of the early Northwest immigrants. Audiences enjoy great sounds of unusual instruments, pioneer diary readings, folk dance, and singing with the band.
Testimonial
"The assembly at Scott was very engaging and informative- a great kick off and enhancement to our Westward Expansion studies." -Mychael Irwin, Principal
Program Description
Playing string, brass and wind instruments and sharing readings from pioneer diaries, The Oregon Trail Trio brings to life the history and culture of the Oregon Territory and Oregon and Washington shortly after statehood. Students will help answer queries: Where does the banjo come from? What is this strange instrument that looks like a snake? What does a jig sound like? The audience will sing along to traditional songs and thrill to the tale of the Heppner flood of 1903, when "two experienced range riders" raced a flood to save a town.
