There's Shape Note singing on the fourth Thursdays of the month from 7-9:30 at the Four Hour Day Lutherie. Definitely energetic. No meetings in November or December due to the holidays at those periods, but it'll start up again in January.

I‘ve wanted to try shape note singing. Is it true that one doesn’t need any musical aptitude or ability to read music?

Yes! It was designed to teach people to understand the pitches of notes in relation to one another and to read music. I also think the Baltimore group is great for beginners - we'll re-sing a particular part if that section needs a bit more practice
