The Foundry Sings! "Jolene"

We are grateful for the generosity of our business sponsor, Dignity Health and their belief in the health benefits of singing!

The rafters of the 160 year old Stone Hall at the Miners Foundry Cultural Center will ring on Wednesday, January 31, 2023, from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m.! Doors open at 5:30 pm and the singing begins at 6:00 pm.

>> Our song is the captivating "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by the Eurythmics!

Rod Baggett, choral conductor at Nevada Union High School along with vocalist Robbie Merchant will lead voices unified in song. Supported by the precision guitar playing of Jonathan Meredith and Tim Yamauchi. The epic song we'll be singing is the Doobie Brothers "Listen to the Music !"

This unique countywide experience aims to gather people of all ages and singing levels under one roof to share in the power of song. The Foundry Sings is inspired by the popular Choir! Choir! Choir!, a weekly drop-in singing event based in Toronto, Canada, which has attracted professional musicians such as Patti Smith, David Byrne and Rufus Wainwright to sing with the group.

We are grateful for the generosity of our business sponsor, Dignity Health and their belief in the health benefits of singing!
