Traditional Song Week July 5-11, 2026
More 2026 information coming later this fall!
Traditional Song Week is a program devoted completely to harvesting the rich traditions of roots music by way of singing the songs. This week is a place where you can develop and grow in confidence about your singing, and have lots of fun with other folks devoted to their own song journeys. Come gather with us in community to explore various traditional song genres under the guidance of experienced, legendary instructors. When singers gather together, magical moments are bound to happen! This year, Traditional Song Week is proud to present a gathering of highly influential singers and musicians who have remained devoted over the years to preserving and promoting traditional song. There will be many opportunities for students to perform for an audience. You may choose to focus on writing in the tradition, learning duet harmony, singing ballads from the Appalachian mountains that surround us or from across the ocean, improving your dulcimer or guitar playing, or simply experiencing the healing power of community singing. Many classes allow increased enrollments beyond the standard 15 students. The week will also feature afternoon workshops, concerts, and nightly singing sessions, with ample opportunities to participate. Bring a friend and come join us for a week you will never forget!
