Sing, People, Sing!

Sing, People, Sing! Join us for a celebration of community singing as we welcome a new book, Rise Again, to the Rise Up Singing family. The Family Folk Machine will host a series of sing-alongs to introduce the new songbook and its almost 1200 songs. Come to one or come to all, look through the new book and pick out something you’d like the group to sing!

To help us get to know the new book better, we’ll assign a few chapters to each session and concentrate on those chapters.

Session 1: Saturday, April 9, 3:00 to 5:00, at Uptown Bill’s (part of Bill’s Birthday Bash)
