Episode 12: Shenandoah Valley Shape Note Singers

Great Podcast!

Contributor Kelley Libby visits a shape note sing event in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Sometimes this style of singing is referred to as Sacred Harp. That’s because there’s an old tune book called The Sacred Harp, and most shape note singers use it, especially in the deep South. Photos: Sarah Cumming
