Limber up those vocal chords, it's time for a sing-along to end all sing- alongs! Tonight's a capella folk song extravaganza, with an amazing lineup of Bay Area folk music stalwarts, celebrates the release of a new CD, In Harmony's Way. Ranging from English drinking songs to sea chanteys to American traditional numbers to songs from France and Africa and back again, the performance features an astoundingly large ensemble of great singers (both on and offstage) that promises to make the Freight's rafters ring with rich folk harmonies and hearty choruses.

A staggering assemblage of both talent and lung power, the show includes Freight perennials, traditional a capella trio Oak, Ash & Thorn; Shay Black, Irish singer extraordinaire and member of the Nauticus sea music ensemble; fellow Nauticus member Riggy Rackin; Hyde Street Pier sea chantey king Peter Kasin; folk music veteran and rounds-singer extraordinaire Lani Herrmann; longtime duo Allan MacLeod and Dick Holdstock, who specialize in traditional music of the sea and 19th century ballads; fabulous singer Sylvia Herold, also well-known to Freightgoers for her work with Cats & Jammers and Wake the Dead; traditional Celtic and Appalachian musician Steve Baughman; Celtic vocalist Pam Swan; another Hyde Street Pier singer, Richard Adrianowicz; plus Arlene Immerman, Kim Hughes, Ed Silberman, and Susan Frank.
