The Skirtlifters authentically recreate the music of the 19th century riverboat, stage and parlor, enlivened by period humor, skits, songs and percussive dance. Their repertoire includes jigs, reels, rags, galops, marches and waltzes. Programs range from Louisiana Purchase to Civil War to early 20th century Ragtime.

Performing at bluegrass festivals, historic sites and in the shadow of the Atomium for the Brosella Festival in Brussels, the band surprised thousands of new-found fans with the diversity and spirit of their music, humor and dance.
