Circle Jawn Singers Citywide Sing 9/23/26

🎶 ABOUT CIRCLE JAWN SINGERS 🎶

If you love music, improv, and expanding the horizons of what your voice can create in community, Circle Jawn Singers (@circlejawnsingers) is the group for you!


Our mission is to GET PHILLY SINGING through circle singing (spontaneous choral experiences as popularized by vocal music legend Bobby McFerrin), vocal improvisation games, and a cappella jams.

It's just like "Whose Line is it Anyway?", but for musical dorks!

No experience? No problem! This gathering is for singers of ALL skill levels- no special musical talent or training is required to participate. We’d love to have you join us! Just bring yourself, your voice, and your favorite water bottle and get ready to SING!

🎶 OUR CITYWIDE SING 🎶

We're thrilled to come together at our Citywide Sings every other Wednesday from 7 - 8:30 PM!

These gatherings serve as a way to connect with our neighbors, make music, and have fun.

Yours in harmony,
