- **Event Description**: Group Singing: 3rd Wednesdays

Pearl Shirley grew up in Black Mountain, NC, soaking up traditional Appalachian music and dance almost without noticing. She picked up a tiny violin at age 5, and since then has fiddled her way through hundreds of foot-stomping contra dances and folk concerts.  Pearl is a percussive step dancer and tours the U.S. and beyond with contra dance band Mock Turtle Soup.  When she is not on the road, Pearl works as a first grade teacher.

Monthly evening singings at 5pm on Third Wednesdays are led by a rotating cast of instructors and local hosts. Copies of the Folk School Song Book, song swapping, and home copied lyric sheets are used by leaders sharing common songs to sing along.

We also host an annual All-day Shape Note Singing the second Saturday in July.
