Communtiy Song Circle
The Humboldt Folklife Society in association with the City of Arcata presents a bi-monthly song circle at the Arcata Community Center on the first Thursday of each month from 7:00 - 10:00 pm. This gathering will be open to everyone who wants to raise his or her voice in song, from closet singers who want to work on their harmonies to singer-songwriters who would like to perform original material (an amp and microphones will be set up for performance). Everyone will have a chance to sing his or her favorite tunes, either as a group or individually, as we go around the circle. If you know what songs you'd like to sing beforehand, bring several copies to share with the group so that others can join in. This is a free event.
For questions, call Joel at 839-7063 or email joel@asis.com.
