A Rare Opportunity

Still have dreams that you are back on stage in Sing-Out South or Up With People?

Maybe you never got the chance to perform with the Colwell Brothers or Herb Allen, or with Cabot Wade, Linda Blackmore Cates or Hazel Robinson, among others?


Would you like to do that and briefly relive or create some happy moments?

Well, if you are interested, here's your chance.

Now don't worry, you'll still remember all the words and the movements to the songs and you will have all your clothes on! It's not that kind of dream come to life.

This Thursday night, June 21  from 6 p.m. to 8p.m., please come to the J.T. Moore School, 4425 Granny White Pike here in Nashville for a free song-swapping session. The Colwells and Herb will there as will Cabot Wade and others (who play guitar and other instruments). So bring your sheet music and your favorite UWP song to sing or request!

What a great night this should be, topped only by the performance by the Colwells and Herb Allen on Saturday evening at 7:00 p.m. also at the J.T. School Auditorium. It's their first concert in our city since they brought the original cast of Up With People (Sing Out '66) to town back in January, 1966.

They literally took the city by storm in those days, creating such enthusiam it led to the founding of Sing-Out South (with over 600 people attending the first practice), and dozens of Nashvillians travelling with Up With People in the years to come.  

Tickets are still available for Saturday evening. They are $10 and can be purchased at the door Saturday or on line at:

All donations made that evening will go to support Up With People scholarships for future young people (including, hopefully, another generation from Nashville and Tennessee) traveling with one of the national casts.

The biography of the Colwells, A SONG FOR THE WORLD written by Frank McGee, will also be available for sale and autograph, with 10% of those proceeds going to support the Up With People Alumni Association. 

But for Thursday night, just bring your tuned-up vocal cords, your HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN SING OUT book, and/or your  favorite UWP song to sing or request....and enjoy a very unique and special evening.
