Singing the Delmore Brothers – Volume 2
A workshop with Christian Apuzzo and Phyllis Elkind
Sunday, February 8, 2026, 11 AM - 1 PM

Back by popular demand - more songs and harmony from The Delmore Brothers. Open to those who took the 2025 class and those joining for the first time. The Delmore Brothers were one of the great brother duos of the 1930’s. They sang original, well-crafted songs, and sang them in a soft, close, synchronized harmony style that influenced generations of country performers. The Louvins dedicated an album to them, and the Everly’s and Bob Dylan spoke of their influence. All levels of harmony experience are welcome. Bring a duet partner or come on your own and sing with others!
