Community Song Workshop
2025-01-19 18:00 - 20:00 | Location TBA
The CSW is a new program for Creative SEA and will be evolving through 2025.
So far, the format is a mix of group singalong, open mic, and informal music workshop. We encourage folks to participate however they feel comfortable.
1. We have a core band to perform and back up guest performers.
2. We have an evolving repertoire based on songs that people know, or are easy to sing as a group.
3. Guests can sing, or play their instruments if they have one.
4. Suggest a song and we’ll try to prepare it for Jan 19.
