Regular Local Singings

Revised March 25, 2023


NOTE: This list is no longer maintained. If you are led here from an external link, please proceed to Jeremiah Ledbetter's Regual Local Singings page.

This list contains entries describing shape-note singings that occur four or more times a year and that draw singers primarily from the immediate locale where they take place. No conventions or annual singings are listed.

This list was originally compiled and maintained by Bob Hall and Ella Wilcox of Falls Church, Virginia. It was later maintained as needed by Annie Grieshop, and once a year by the editors of the Sacred Harp Minutes and Directory.

Tunebooks used by the singings in this list are designated by the following codes:

Always call before attempting to go to a singing! Times and locations often change! We have made every effort to confirm the information in this list, but we can not guarantee that it is still accurate. Please note that many regular local singings are being canceled in 2021 due to the pandemic COVID-19. It is essential to contact local singers to find out if the singing is taking place. You may also consult the online minute book (pages 29-42).
