The video file is too big to upload directly, so here it is on YouTube. In the spirit of Woody Guthrie, we’re keeping this song alive and sending it out from the woods of Massachusetts to the streets of Minneapolis and everywhere that communities are gathering together in solidarity and resistance

🎧Get your headphones for this one!🎧 the reverb in this space was already spectacular, but when the last chord happened to find a resonant frequency…🤩 Waterbound by Dirk Powell, arr. Windborne #folkmusic #reverb #harmonysinging #acappella #musicnerd
Comment 😈 if you love a toe-tapping song with a good message! We adapted this piece by Le Vent du Nord several years ago and it’s still one of our favorite. Hear it at an upcoming show! Windbornesingers.com/concerts
We’ve been singing Grey Funnel Line by Cyril Tawney for a decade now and we still aren’t tired of it 🌊🚢❤️ What are your favorite folk songs?
To paraphrase Joan Baez: The opposite of despair isn’t hope — it is action
We will not shut up but we will keep singing 🔥 Endless thanks to our friend Joe Jencks for this incredible song, Lady of the Harbor 🗽 #vocalharmony #folkmusic #vocalband #singout #folksongs #raiseyourvoice #statueofliberty #immigrantsarewelcomehere #nooneisillegalonstolenland

THE PROBLEM IS REALLY THE BILLIONAIRE This song has been on our minds a lot lately 😑
These words were written in the 1840s by Chartist leader Ernest Jones. The more things change the more they stay the same 🙄 CALL YOUR REPS and demand they oppose HR 1 “the big beautiful bill” which gives tax breaks to billionaires while kicking millions off their health care
We’re always looking for more resonant spaces for spontaneous singing—where should we go next? Grey Funnel Line, by Cyril Tawney, arr. Windborne
