Northwest Stories: Shape-Note Singing

This videos is part of Northwest Stories, a year-long project of Northwest Folklife to capture the spirit of communities in the region that participate in the annual Northwest Folklife Festival. The project is supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Videographer Doug Plummer visited groups in Seattle and traveled to Eugene, Oregon, for a singing convention (all-day sing). These videos capture the sound, the spirit, and the community of shape-note singing in the Pacific Northwest.
