You are invited to join Open Hub Singing Club, eight Sundays this fall from 3:30-5 pm at the Pulpit Rock Brewing Company Events Space! 

Whether you are an experienced singer or someone new to singing, community singing offers a “no practice, no performance” experience. We celebrate uplifting songs with meaningful messages taught in the simple and ancient aural tradition so that everyone is singing together in no time. We learn by listening as a group. No singing experience or training is required – just a desire to sing with others in community. All voices are welcome, including yours!

As Bobby McFerrin says, “One of the simplest and most direct ways of praying and meditating is through singing, and singing in community is especially powerful. You get people together in a room singing, and you instantly knock down all the walls—the creeds, the gender, age, and race differences, everything. You’re all one at that point, lifting your voices.”

In singing together we give voice to our shared humanity. Our common joys, longings, sorrows, and hopes fly from our mouths and mingle in the air. Come, help us sing in harmony to enliven spirit, build community, and create personal and cultural change.

In each session we will:

• Learn joyful, diverse, easy-to-memorize songs

• Connect with our singing community through a shared joy of song

• Build confidence in our voices in a welcoming, supportive space

• Release the stress of living and open space for the week to come

• Exercise our bodies and minds through the practice of group singing

• Build memory retention through oral tradition singing

• Enjoy a fun, relaxed, and accepting environment
