FIND FELLOW FASOLA FOLK

Welcome to our quarterly newsletter, dedicated to connecting Sacred Harp singers across Maryland and the surrounding regions. Our goal is to strengthen our community by sharing news and events that bring singers together. Sacred Harp style music is a deeply rooted American tradition of communal a cappella singing, where participants sing from shape note tunebooks that use four unique shapes to indicate musical notes. This unique tradition fosters a sense of connection and participation, with everyone in the room invited to sing and take turns leading. Whether you’re a seasoned singer or new to the tradition, this newsletter is for you.

500 copies of the first and second issues have been printed and will be distributed through the region at local and All Day singings. Issues are being uploaded to archive.org and can be viewed below.
