Oneida County History Center​

​The labor unions in the late 1800s and early 1900s were powerful in solidarity and activism and even included songs to motivate and give hope. This program presents a variety of these songs and a historical narrative about the development and progress of the Labor Union movement. Including a passage about the historic Mohawk Valley Formula negotiation system. About 45 minutes in length, family-friendly.

With guitar, violin, banjo, harmonica, ukelele, and dulcimer, these high-spirited independent artists present heartfelt original acoustic folk and blues." ~Folk Times

Cosby Gibson and Tom Staudle are award-winning songwriters and singers and live near the Adirondacks in upstate New York.
