Gatherin' Meetings and Pub Sings
These monthly "gatherin's"(picking & singing) are for the entire family. There is good company, plenty of singing, playing, and listening to various types of traditional and contemporary folk music. It is an opportunity to share your songs, learn new ones, and enjoy the company of others who enjoy a wide range of folk music. Many of our songs can be found in the “Rise up Singing” and “Rise Again” song books.
Meetings are from 1 to 4 pm, on the 2nd Sunday of the month (October thru May). New folks are always welcome.
Location: The Old Songs building, 37 South Main St., Voorheesville, NY 12186.
Check the old songs website for directions and a map.
We also host monthly Pub Sings (a capella, no instruments) at various locations that change periodically - you can get details on our Facebook Page.
