PRESS“It was a strange sound, raw and wild and hoary, yet at the same time, familiar somehow – a great, aching lamentation that stopped people walking by in the hallway outside cold.It was as if voices from a previous century had started speaking again.”The Oregonian “…six times better than a night at Chopsticks,” “way more raw and rustic than gospel,” and a “mind-bogglingly beautiful music style.”The Portland Mercury “‘…penetrating sound that gets under your skin…that primal scream of music that is Sacred Harp singing at its best.”The Willamette Week |
