Awake, My Soul: The Story of the Sacred Harp is the first feature documentary to explore the history, music, and traditions of Sacred Harp singing. The 2025 Revision includes never-before-seen footage, is re-mastered, re-edited, up-converted from SD to HD and re-mixed.

SPECIAL WORKSHOP:
We’re having a Sacred Harp workshop at the El Cerrito Free Folk Festival on October 10. The workshop is from 12 to 1pm at the El Cerrito Community Center. We will be singing out of packets with selected songs from the book. There will be a lot of new singers, so it would be great to have lots of experienced singers to support them! There will also be lots of other folk music workshops and a food truck that you can enjoy while you’re there too!
