Blue Wave Singers: Book for your event!
Book the Blue Wave Singers for your next campaign or Democratic or progressive event. We’ll show up for five or ten or 15 minutes to lead group singing. This might work well while people are gathering, to “warm up the crowd”. Or we could sing during the event, or at the end, to go out in a festive mood. We lead traditional favorites, like “If I Had a Hammer” and “Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around.” We also have some newer surprises that everyone can catch on to quickly. We don’t need amplification. We sing for free, and for freedom, and for the people.
