Description: Come and participate or just enjoy the sounds! Whether you grew up attending Sacred Harp singings, learned to sight read by using a seven-shape system, or are simply curious about what’s behind that unusual, appealing shape-note sound, come and attend this new event. Shape-note singers from different styles, repertoires, and traditions – along with people who have never sung by shapes – will come together for a general session.
Among the song leaders representing different shape note traditions, who will participate throughout the week-end, are: Dan Brittan, Laura Boosinger, Charlie Sandage, Hugh McGraw, Benjamin Franklin White, Cassie Franklin Allen, Chiquita Walls and Gaylon Powell.
The cost to attend is the price of a regular Craft Village Admission, $10 for adults and $6 for children ages 6 – 12 and under 6 is free per day.
