“This course was an absolute joy! I find myself humming or singing some of the songs we learned throughout my day, and I've already been sharing them with others.”
-Rev. Aisha Ansano

About the Instructor


Saro Lynch-Thomason (she/her) is a folksinger, song leader, folklorist and artist who has studied and taught traditional Appalachian, American, English and Scottish folk songs for over 15 years. 
She has a special love of using song as a tool to connect contemporary singers to historic and ongoing movements for communal justice and self-liberation. Her song “More Waters Rising” has become an international anthem in the movement to end climate change. She holds a Masters in Appalachian Studies from ETSU and a Certificate in Documentary Studies from Duke University (Her master's thesis was about contemporary women singers and how their gendered experiences shaped their repertoire choices!)

Saro leads community choirs & pub sings, teaches at music camps, performs internationally, and has produced several albums. These days, she also spends much of her time studying pagan history of the Anglo-Celtic Isles and leading song and ritual inspired by these traditions.
