Folk Song Accompaniment

Today, I launched a new educational resource for harp students who are looking to build their repertoire of chord patterns. It’s a pdf book called “Folk Song Accompaniment” and it works through nine patterns, each presented with a different popular folk song. The tenth and final song in the book combines all the patterns to create an arrangement. 

The book comes with two variations on each pattern, origin of the songs, lead sheets, lyrics, and play along melody tracks at two speeds.

Sarah Frank and I have made a series of free YouTube videos demonstrating all ten songs. Check them out here. The pdf is available for sale on Etsy here.

Charlie & Ellen at the Helen Creighton Folk Club

Charlie and I had a great time at the Dartmouth Heritage Museum last week, playing as featured artists on a double bill at the Helen Creighton Folk Club! This regular event has an open mic portion and takes place at Evergreen House, where Helen Creighton lived.

I've been loving playing folk songs lately with Sarah Frank and Adrianna Ciccone! Here we are singing the Riddle Song. Thanks to Luke Fraser for making this beautiful video for us!
