Folk songs leave no stones unturned when it comes to portraying the human experience. Aubrey will present and explore a broad spectrum of traditional Appalachian and Celtic folk songs with themes of work, the sea, humor, love, children's songs, party songs, ballads, longing, nature, spiritual, and more. Sessions are part listening, part discussion, and part group singing. All are also welcome to share songs they know as well. Come sit "knee to knee" with Aubrey for a singing, historical, and cultural adventure! February's workshop focused on the beauty, humor, and peril of love! The March workshop explored Spring, nature and rural life through group singing. Bring a song to share!
