Join our NEW WhatsApp Community!

We’re creating a space for Seattle (and nearby) singers to connect beyond gatherings: share songs and singing resources, spread the word about song circles and other musical happenings, find fellow singers in your neighborhood, organize informal gatherings, and deepen our connections with one another.

A radically welcoming group singing experience where community choir meets song circle.

Facilitated by Bex Lipps. Suggested donation is $15-30, and no one is turned away for lack of funds. A portion of proceeds goes to The Heron's Nest, a Land Back project returning land to the Duwamish Tribe.
