Music note
The choir will sing the chorus only; The Rounder Circle will sing the verses.
​
Bay Area-based country/bluegrass group The Rounder Circle (Hilary Nelson, Thomas Hatcher, Kyla Kent, and Ilan Ladabaum) will be our guest musicians. The Rounder Circle came together in Spring 2024. Since then, they've been performing all around the Bay Area, and recorded a debut studio album, scheduled for release in June 2026. Their repertoire blends bluegrass with grooves from Country and Western Swing, a nod to Dawg Music, and even the occasional contemporary pop tune reimagined in unique style. They also perform a growing catalog of original music, ranging from traditional bluegrass to broader Americana and Folk. Whether it’s standards, originals, or something in between, everything they play stays anchored in the spirit of bluegrass, with fast-paced instrumental breaks, tight vocal harmonies, and a big dose of fun.
