The Meriwethersare not just singers and musicians, they are historians, in a sense.
Their music tells the story of the Corps of Discovery led by Lewis and Clark, sent to explore the lands of the Louisiana Purchase more than 200 years ago.
The Meriwethers' work even overlaps with Oregon school curriculum, and they do take their show to schools.
They visit the studio to talk of their work... and let us hear some of it. The group plays a public show on Wednesday, Jan. 18. at Rogue Performance Hall in Medford.
