The Foundry Sings – The Beatles & Beyond!

The rafters of the 160 year old Stone Hall at the Miners Foundry Cultural Center will ring on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.! Doors open at 5:00 pm and the singing begins at 6:00 pm. This month, we’re featuring The Beatles & Beyond!

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.

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.

The Foundry Sings!

This installment of The Foundry Sings will feature a selection of songs by The Beatles with a little help from their friends.

Attendees do not need to know how to read music, Rod Baggett and Jonathan Meredith will teach vocal arrangement and lead practices. At the end of the evening everyone joins together to sing the song.

The performance is filmed and posted on YouTube. Everyone has a grand time and goes home feeling great!
