The South Road Ramblers will perform bluegrass and American folk in the Appalachian singing tradition on Saturday, August 28th at Porter-Phelps-Huntington Museum’s “A Perfect Spot of Tea.” The band is led by singer and mandolin player Phil Grant. The South Road Ramblers play fiddle tunes, breakdowns, reels and waltzes with songs by the Charter Family, Charlie Poole and the Skillet Lickers. Grant is a native of the New Jersey Pine Barrens and has studied with bluegrass legend Frank Wakefield. He also plays banjo and fiddle.

Throughout the performance, the Porter-Phelps-Huntington Museum invites guests to enjoy Earl Grey tea and pastries donated by local restaurants and grocery stores. The event honors Elizabeth Porter Phelps and her family’s 18th-century tradition of afternoon tea. In addition to tea and desserts, the house will offer tours on the half hour.
