Gatherin' Meetings
These "gatherin's"(picking & singing) are for the entire family. There is good company, plenty of singing, playing, and listening to various types of traditional and contemporary folk music. It is an opportunity to share your songs, learn new ones, and enjoy the company of others who enjoy a wide range of folk music. Many of our songs can be found in the “Rise up Singing” and “Rise Again” song books.
Meetings are from 1 to 4 pm, on the 2nd Sunday of the month (October thru May). New folks are always welcome.
