Song Circles
Monthly Song Circle to be held at new location on a Tuesday evening: Our song circles are held at the JP Hops House, located at 2317 Hwy 6, Houston, TX 77082. This month will be at 7:00PM on July 5. The phone number is 281.496.0623 Meetings consist of a "song circle", allowing each attendee an opportunity for a musical performance, share a song, tall tale, announcement, or other item which he or she may wish to share with the group. Non-performers are just as welcome as performers. After all, musicians, singers, storytellers, all need an audience.
