Sacred Harp isn’t a performance—it’s a thunderous, communal eruption of sound. Singing the Shapes invites you into a living tradition, carried not by re-enactors but by everyday people singing some of the oldest songs still ringing in American life. I wanted to understand what holds them together—and why this music still matters.
