Major Pauline Cushman
Famous Actress and Union Spy
Famous Actress and Union Spy
Found facts flow with enduring fiction in swirling landscapes of shadow and light in this stylized overlay of dance, sass and song exploring the bold duality of Pauline Cushman, famous actress and Civil War spy.
Spanning thirty years across the great divide of young America, the music of Miss Major reflects a cultural soundscape of Bluegrass Gospel, Irish Chantey, Indigenous Chant, Patriotic Theme, Popular Standard and Turn of the Century Jazz.
Modern parallels bubble underneath the whiskey brash of Brevit-Major Pauline Cushman as she performs period songs like Trust To Luck, Cabbage Head and What I Suffered Nobody Knows along with original pieces like Despite Myself, I Been Chasing A Dream (And It's Been Making Me Wait) and the title song,
That's Miss Major (To You).
