Heard in the movie, “Cold Mountain”, this four part harmony, a capella folk music has been sung continuously since Colonial times. It is the precursor for both White and Black Gospel and for some of the harmonies heard in bluegrass and country.
The music is fun to sing, loud, full of open harmonies also known as power chords, and completly addictive.No music experience required
No politics ~ No preaching ~ Just singing
