Thanksgiving: A Folksy Harvest Home

Jay and Molly

Harvest Home is produced and hosted by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, a husband and wife duo who won international acclaim for music on PBS's Civil War documentary.

The songs featured on this special program culled from Jay and Molly's archive of traditional and historical American recordings. Artists include Chet Atkins, Bill Monroe, Pete Seeger, and Merle Haggard.  The songs all have a theme of autumn, Thanksgiving, and of course food!

Jay was born in the Bronx while Molly grew up in Washington State. The pair continue to contribute to producer Ken Burns's documentary films and their music is again featured prominently in the recent broadcast of The National Parks on PBS.
