Like a Lightning Bolt: Sacred Harp Singing in Alabama

Bridge Hill Kennedy was hooked on Sacred Harp music the first time he heard it from the center of the hollow square. Over 20 years later, he takes us into the striking, singular sound and experience of Sacred Harp: a living tradition that unites singers from all walks of life in a community like no other. Bridge also walks us through a typical day at a Sacred Harp singing, including the memorial lesson, dinner on the ground, and those ineffable moments of communion.
