Selections are chosen from the book "Rise Up Singing". This can usually be purchased at Border's. You can also bring a handout. You will probably need at least 15 copies. Bring the chords and lyrics please.

Current instruments played:

Guitars, mandolin, banjo, hammered dulcimer, lap dulcimer, fiddle, bass, harmonica, recorder, flute, tin whistle, drum and sometimes, a washtub bass!

Membership:

There is no membership. Anyone who is interested in sharing the tradition of folk music is welcome.

Participants are welcome to join, support and plan extracurricular activities. For example members of the group get together to attend MerleFest, Newport Folk Festival and Festival for the Eno.

Background:

The group was formed in October of 1988 at Hoffman Stringed Instruments on Yonkers Road and in March of 1993 moved to Olde Raleigh Village. Hoffman's closed at the end of 1997, so, in January 1998, we moved to the Border's in Cary. Currently we play at North Raleigh Border's Book Store (Six Forks and Strickland) and in Cary. Several of the original 1988 group still play with us!
