About the Artist
Rich Pawling's History Alive! Boys have captivated audiences of all ages throughout the nation with their entertaining live performances since their formation in 1997. The band and it's unique heritage music program History Thru Song is affiliated directly with History Alive!SM - a company, founded in 1991 by Richard Pawling, that provides historical dramatic presentations and living history training at historical sites, museums, parks, festivals and a variety of venues throughout the United States.
Pawling of Sinking Spring, PA has been described as "something of an educator, historian, musician and entertainer all in one". In addition to being the owner of History Alive!SM, he also teaches as a part-time cultural geography professor at Penn State/Berks-Lehigh Valley College. His musical talents and performance mastery began during youth - both playing the cornet and singing as part of a family ministry. His unique entertaining presentation style was perfected over the years as he served as an interpreter/ranger in local, state and national parks. Among other honors, he was the 1995 winner of the "Excellence in Interpretation" Award for the National Association for Interpretation.
In The History Thru Song, Rich is joined by the History Alive! Boys - Van Wagner and Matthew Harrison. Van and Matt are both accomplished musicians and songwriters. As well as playing and singing the songs of the past, both have also written numerous songs and ballads of their own. While a student at Penn State/Berks, Van first met "Professor Pawling" in the spring 1996 and the idea that blossomed into "The History Alive! Boys" originated. Combined they are acoustical artists on the guitar, banjo, mandolin, and harmonica.
