The Dayton Folk Music Sing-Along Meetup 4.50 4.507
Founded
February 4, 2008

Like to sing? Or play? Like FOLK music? The only thing we won't have is a campfire!

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 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

 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.

      “Just a typical sing along meeting -- old friends meet new friends, talk about chords and play music!”

      “I love learning and sharing new music, music that comes more from the heart than concerns for the pocketbook. Poetry and music are the truth of life.”

      “I play a few assorted instruments but guitar was my first and still favorite. Growing up in the '60's I of course know all the folk songs and enjoy singing along.”
