It’s tradition to share Irish songs in March for St Patrick’s Day. On Thursday 7th March 2024, we celebrate with Irish songs, as we have done previously in 2023, 2022, 2021, and Irish Playlist. Stay after for a workshop on Hawaiian songs.
Dress code: wear GREEN or you’ll get pinched.
Effective 15th February 2024, your first 3 Chord Thursday song session in 2024 is FREE. You’re also welcome to have as many people in your Zoom session as you like without further subscription. In-person with the host is free. The next in-person is Thursday 2nd May 2024. Register in Zoom as often as you like to get the Zoom link. Enter Zoom at any time to set up. The host and performers will do sound and visual checks half-hour before the start time. All sessions are live-streamed and video recorded for review and replay.

There are many three chord songs but 3 Chord Thursday is not limited to 3 chords!! We always start with a warm up at 3 pm EST followed by two poses for a group photo with our sunglasses and ukuleles. Then we announce our line-up. If there’s no request beforehand, we take impromptu requests and line them up. We aim to end an hour later at 4 pm EST.
Wear GREEN! Don’t forget your sunglasses!
