By Dave Eisenstadter, Town Correspondent

The Dedham Historical Society and Museum and the Fairbanks house will present folk singer Jeff Davis in a summer performance.

Davis’s songs include Revolutionary War hero ballads, Appalachian clogging songs, sailor’s work songs, Afridan-American banjo tunes, Irish fiddle tunes, and cowboy ditties. He plays a myriad of instruments, including the nose flute and a fretless banjo.

The free performance, supported by a grant from the Dedham Cultural Council, is set for 11 a.m. on July 10 at the Dedham Historical Society at 612 High St.

Reservations are required for groups of five or more.
