Growing up as brother and sister in Kent, Jessica Lea and David were surrounded by bluegrass and folk music with their family’s band, One Way Rider. Both began performing at an early age.

Jessica’s current album is “Make My Head Sing,” and David’s most-recent release is “Strangers.” The two are taking a break for some family time and to play a few exclusive shows that will go back their musical roots, with stripped-down versions of their own material also on the set list.

Film about Civil War battle with local ties

WARREN

The Civil War 150 Committee of the Sutliff Museum will present a free screening of the film “The Battle of Franklin” at 2 p.m. Sunday in the Thomas Meeting Room of the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library, 444 Mahoning Avenue NW.

The screening will include commentary by historian Wendell Lauth. Re-enactors in uniform also will display artifacts from the Civil War.

This 1864 battle in Tennessee is of special significance to Trumbull Countians, because two generals from the county were involved.

Gen. Emerson Opdyke of Hubbard led a counterattack that turned the tide and enabled the Union Army to achieve an important victory. Gen. Jacob D. Cox, who had been superintendent of schools in Warren in the 1850s, also fought there.
