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!
