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.
