We will sing from the Denson 1991 edition of The Sacred Harp (red book) with books available to borrow. You are welcome to come and sing or listen or a little of both.

COVID PROTOCOLS

We sing in an open-sided tent and expect a breeze blowing through. Other Covid precautions are encouraged but not required. As always, if you are not feeling well, have any symptoms that could indicate a Covid infection (sore throat, congestion, fever, body aches, diarrhea, etc.), have been exposed to a communicable illness, or have been in crowded public events in the five days before the singing, please stay home and take care of yourself so that you can come sing with us another day.

This is an opportunity to introduce some deep old American tunes to an appreciative audience. We look forward to singing with you!

More details will be sent to everyone on the Chicago Shapenote Singer's email list as they become available so be sure you are on it by clicking the "Join our email list" link, below.
