Get together with fellow folk fans and help us raise the roof twice a month! IF YOU KNOW FOLK MUSIC, SING IT LOUD AND PROUD AND/OR PLAY AN INSTRUMENT, WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU!!!

We use the Rise Up Singing songbook as our source for most songs and take turns selecting a song for the group to sing and play (passing's OK). Because these are sing alongs, participants are strongly encouraged to bring a copy of the book or buy one at the session. Each participant also has the option of going solo or handing out lyrics to a song not in the book. BUT *ENTHUSIASTIC PARTICIPATION* IS THE KEY!

We meet the first and third Saturday of the month from 2:00 to 5:00 pm in a comfortable indoor location in Crystal City (Arlington), VA, close to metro. There are many parking garages in the area (the closest is at 23rd St & Crystal Dr), and they're free on weekends.

We sing well-known traditional songs (and not so well-known songs members want to teach us), as well as those by the big names in folk and folk/rock from the '50s to '70s and beyond. Also occasional Beatles, pop/rock, and traditional British and Irish folk.

We're a friendly fun group! IF YOU'RE NOT SHY ABOUT SINGING AND/OR JAMMING, COME CHECK US OUT!

What members are saying

 First meeting I've attended. It was excellent...no complaints. 

—A former member

 The soul needs harmony. Where better to get it than from singing soulful songs?

      “Looking for others interested in folk and Celtic music. Would like to find an existing or start-up band and jams are about the best way I know to do that. I'm principally a vocalist, also play acoustic guitar and a little banjo.”
