A vibrant musical niche that few concert-goers or even musicians are aware of thrives across the globe: a dozen or so folks meeting in living rooms, quiet pubs, ship’s holds, or church basements, to sing together in sweet, intuitive harmony. It may be hymns, or drinking songs, or chanteys, but the essential element is the delicious pleasure of a song that is well sung by a group of friends. It was an honor for us to be able to sing folk spirituals and gospel songs in the acoustically phenomenal chapel at Bishops Ranch in Healdsburg, CA, where this recording was made. We hope you will enjoy Ain’t Got Long, and sing right along with us! See what they are saying about it…
