A Message from Moira Smiley

1936166_105800615853_3060082_nOne of the reasons I became interested in Shape Note music was from hearing Moira Smiley sing in Bloomington, IN. One particular concert took place as part of the Bloomington Early Music Festival. I was hooked.

I decided to reach out to Moira to see if she would do a personal video talking about the influence of Shape Note music on her music and also to help us spread the word about the upcoming All Day Singing on Saturday, October 22nd. Here is her response. Down below, I’ll post some of Moira’s music.

Mark your calendar for the 2016 All Day Singing in Bloomington, Indiana. The event takes place this year at Fairview United Methodist Church on Oct 22nd, 2016. We will sing from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with a traditional dinner on the grounds at noon. Local singers are encouraged to bring a potluck dish to share. We will be singing from the 1991 revision the Sacred Harp. Loaner song books will be available.
