The Ten Pound Fiddle Concert Series is proud to produce the 23rd Mid-Winter Singing & Folk Festival to take place on Friday, February 5 and Saturday, February 6, 2027 at East Lansing's University Lutheran Church (ULC), 1020 S. Harrison, East Lansing, MI.

On Friday night, the 23rd Mid-Winter Singing & Folk Festival starts with the huge Community Sing, led by veteran from the Twin Cities, 'The Piano Man,' Dan Chouinard.

From noon-4:45pm on Saturday, there will be 6 singing and non-singing workshops led by a group of experienced song leaders and musicians, including Heather Kingham, leader of Traverse City Sings, Dan Chouinard and Reggie Harris. Lyric sheets provided for singing workshops. Join the Festival Choir from 3:45-4:45!

Also in the lobby throughout the day, the Fiddle will offer the VERY LAST and ABSOLUTE FINAL Used CD and LP Fiddle Scout Fundraiser.

On Saturday Night, Singing Festival favorite Reggie Harris will officially present a concert - which will include a lot of singing along. Uniquely committed to “music as a community building vehicle,” Reggie’s music shares insightful perspectives on issues of life, history, education and human rights. In the spirit of his mentors, Pete Seeger and Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, (founder of Sweet Honey in the Rock), Reggie is a master songleader who loves to help people discover that they can make a difference at any age, wherever they may live.

2010 Mid-Winter Singing Festival

Inspired by Pete and Toshi Seeger's highly popular Circle of Song tent at the Hudson River Clearwater Festival, this Singing Festival is designed for folk music lovers to be able to sing great songs with each other. Lyrics for the songs sung at the Friday night Community Sing will be passed out.

As the list of festival activities suggests, the songs themselves are the real stars of the Community Sing and singing workshops. Each singing event is designed to maximize audience participation. People who love folk songs are invited to bring family and friends and spend an evening, or the weekend singing great songs with song leaders who love this music.

Did your family sing while doing the dishes? Do you sing on long car trips? This festival is for you. Even if your voice isn't as good as you want it to be, that doesn't matter. This weekend is for people who love to sing. This weekend will spread a little warmth on two chilly, winter days.
