The Dayton Folk Music Sing-Along Meetup 4.50 4.508
Founded
February 4, 2008

Like to sing? Or play? Like FOLK music? The only thing we won't have is a campfire! (Here's a nice write up about us: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2411302/folk_mus...

You don't have to be a professional singer or an experienced musician to participate in a Sing-Along! Just bring what you've got -- your voice, your instrument -- and plan to have a good time! Plenty of opportunities here for jamming and/or for impromptu harmonizing.

We often refer back to the Rise Up Singing songbook for words and chords of basic, familiar folk songs.

To buy one from Sing Out -- Rise up Singing: http://www.singout.org/rus.html

To buy one from Amazon, paste this link into your browser:

Meeting dates & times: Fourth Thursday per month, more or less, beginning at 5:30 pm, but it's fine it you can't get there until whenever. Meetings last around three hours.

If you'd like to practice downloading music uploaded by our members, do this:
The menu listing on the left side of the main Meetup page for the group has an option titled "Files". Clicking on "Files" opens a webpage. The page has all the songs people have brought in and shared listed in alphabetical order, to date. Clicking on a song title will open a pdf of the song sheet that should be printable.

You can upload music you'd like to share, then email me to remind people, and we'll download it a couple days before the next meeting, so we'll all have a copy (sticking with the book can get boring!).

Our Current Location: Starbucks in Oakwood (south end of greater Dayton) -- but we may explore another location in Clayton soon.

What members are saying

 For the above reasons. 

 This is a warm, welcoming bunch - and singing together is a joy that works wonders. Whether you can play or sing or neither, it's a great way to spend an evening.
