​Queer & Ally Singing Circle (In Person)

Sunday, August 23rd
2 - 3 pm
Free!
The Christian Church of Woodland (Disciples of Christ)
509 College St, Woodland, California

Singing is our birthright! Join singer-songwriter, teaching artist, and activist Eli Conley to raise up your voice in queer community. All are welcome — no prior singing or musical experience needed! We’ll begin with a warm up, connecting with our breath and tuning our voices together, feeling the vibration of collective singing in our bodies. Then Eli will improvise wordless melodies for the group to sing on the spot, weaving together different parts into a beautiful whole. He’ll also teach songs of joy, solace, and affirmation that are easy to learn by ear, bringing the group together in delicious harmony. While this space centers LGBTQIA+ voices, everyone is welcome!

About Eli
​​Eli Conley is a singer-songwriter, teaching artist, and activist based in Sacramento, California. He makes country-tinged folk music for queer and trans people, justice seekers, and anyone who doesn’t fit in a box. Eli's voice is tender and heartfelt, with songs that can leave you teary-eyed yet hopeful. As a queer transgender man from the South, his music tells stories that aren’t always reflected in roots music. Eli has a deep commitment to working within diverse LGBTQIA+ communities to build collective power, creativity, and resilience through song. He teaches music classes for queer and trans folks and allies, workshops, and offers private voice lessons and songwriting coaching.
