CircleSinging with Barbara Ford
Popularized and taught by singer Bobby McFerrin, CircleSinging is vocal improvisation, a “drum circle” for singers. It is a “mistake-‐free” zone for all levels of singers.
Barbara trained with Bobby McFerrin to lead CircleSinging. She leads groups in fun, poly-‐rhythmic, resonant, and harmonic wordless song that can move, amuse, inspire, and strengthen community. This intergenerational experience is free and open to all and embodies the elements of Active Hope: community, creativity, gratitude and joy.

Corral Creek comes to you bringing a mix of good old Gospel and Bluegrass music. Ron, Pam, Ed, Carl and Tracy have come together from various backgrounds and experiences to share their music for the last ten years. Others join as welcome guest players from time to time. Most band members keep busy with day jobs, but at night or on the weekends they share their music at Bluegrass festivals, fund raisers, churches, house concerts, wineries, and special occasions. Their music has entertained folks at the Oregon Bluegrass Association Gospel Show, the High N’ Dry Bluegrass festival in Bend Oregon, many years of season openers at the Butteville Store, Church Services, Weddings, Funerals and Community festivals! It’s always a family show including sing-a-longs, humorous stories, and good times by all.
