The Lower East Side Shape Note Sing from the Sacred Harp hosted by The Living Room 154 Ludlow St. (map it) between Stanton and Rivington on Manhattan's Lower East Side F train to 2nd Avenue or F, J, M, or Z to Delancey St. Every 1st Saturday from 2:00 – 5:00 Upcoming dates: February 2nd, March 1st, April 5th, May 3rd, June 7th, July 5th, August 2nd, September 6th, October 4th, November 1st, December 6th Heard in the movie, “Cold Mountain”, this four part harmony, a capella folk music has been sung continuously since Colonial times. It is the precursor for both White and Black Gospel and for some of the harmonies heard in bluegrass and country. The music is fun to sing, loud, full of open harmonies also known as power chords, and completly addictive.   No music experience required No politics ~ No preaching ~ Just singing Contact: Email reminder list or call 718 963-1821 Photo of the Lower East Side Sing in Googie's Lounge, above the Living Room from the wonderful Time Magazine article & podcast by David Von Biema which appeared on page 106 of the January 28th issue.
