Program
- Hymn Sing at Tarboro Brewing Company
- Join us for a traditional hymn sing with a twist. Those favorite; old hymns you grew up singing will surprise you of their origins. Many early American music were songs that were heard on Sundays – becoming an integral part of life in rural America. Many of these songs were derived from songs sung in bars and taverns. Join us and see how many you may know!
