This season’s music includes songs by the Beatles; Jimmy Cliff; Billy Strings; the Grateful Dead; Three Dog Night; Suzanne Vega; Fitz and the Tantrums; Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young; Steely Dan; The Weepies; and more.
There will also be a basket raffle to raise money for the Center for Solace, formerly Brattleboro Area Hospice.

Their summer session will begin soon. Interested singers may visit RockVoices.com to sign up for their official mailing list to be notified when registration opens. The theme for this summer is songs from movies.
