This site's purpose is to keep us informed about current singing schedules and special events, tell visitors about us, and attract new participants.

There are 2 chapters of our group, one of which meets on Tuesday evening and the other on Sunday evening.

Both groups welcome visitors and new singers. Shape note music is not a performance art -- it's all about community singing and participation.

Read on for more information about singing schedules and special events!

Some of our members have been singing this music for many, many years. From those of us who have come to it more recently, special thanks to our mentor, Shelley Posen, of Finest Kind, for getting us started!

Did you know that 2 new songs by Colin Henein (Carsonby and Heart's Desire) are in the New Millennium Harp? We think they're great!
