Eighteen San Francisco Bay Area singers have gotten together to record some of their favorite chorus songs from the American and British Isles traditions in a CD collection called In Harmony's Way. The project seeks to document the rich local heritage of a cappella singing, and to share these wonderful songs with a greater audience. The rehearsal, recording process and concert are being filmed by El Mundo Bueno Studios for a documentary on the Bay Area folk singing community.

Participants of In Harmony's Way are Richard Adrianowicz, Steve Baughman, Michael and Shay Black, Susan Frank, Sylvia Herold, Lani Herrmann, Holdstock and MacLeod, Kim Hughes, Arlene Immerman, Peter Kasin, Oak Ash & Thorn, Riggy Rackin, Ed Silberman and Pam Swan.
The project celebrates its culmination in a rousing evening of song where the audience is invited to join in as much as they wish. So come support Bay Area traditional music and lift your voices with your friends and neighbors of In Harmony's Way at 8:00 pm on July 8th at the Freight and Salvage Coffee House in Berkeley. Tickets available at The Freight or via their website www.thefreight.org.
