Singers Wanted!
Rock My Soul is looking for new members to join our vibrant community by attending any Tuesday from January 21 through February 11. We welcome anyone who loves to sing and can hold a pitch.
The ability to read music is not required and there is no formal audition. Rock My Soul sings songs based in American roots music that spans generations and various genres, including early gospel, blues, rock, soul, civil rights anthems, and spirituals. We perform 5 to 8 concerts a year, including our Christmas concerts.
As part of our mission, we do free performances at various institutional homes and facilities where folks may enjoy some musical uplifting.
We rehearse Tuesday nights from 7pm to 9pm on the top floor of First Parish Federated Church, 150 Main St. in South Berwick, ME.
Welcome to Rock My Soul! We’re glad to have you with us.

Welcome to Rock My Soul! We’re glad to have you with us. *
Rock My Soul is part of ProjectMusicWorks, a nonprofit arts and cultural organization whose mission is:
“…to bring diverse communities and individuals together through life affirming gospel music. Through performance, charitable outreach, and other community building activities, we seek to uplift, enrich and, educate.”
Through our talents, hopes, ideas, and actions, we strive to foster a sense of connection through music. And roots and gospel music in particular has a way of reaching down deep and touching souls the way no other music can. It heals. It unites. It bridges divides. And, as our country’s history has shown, it has the power to transform society for the better. In our small way, we hope to work toward unity, equality, respect and justice for all, one song at a time. That is why, as our vision states:
“…We envision a world transformed by the healing power of song, where hearts are one, where souls are at peace, where spirits are uplifted and prejudices cease.”
We are not a religious organization, but an arts and cultural organization. We come from many walks of life and from many faith backgrounds (or, in some cases, none whatsoever).
We are nondenominational and multi faith. We believe we learn from one another and become richer for it. And we share a love for the joy, hope, and belief in the triumph of the spirit that our music celebrates.
The pages that follow contain information to help you get acclimated and understand more about how things in our group work. If you have any questions, please ask any Membership or Artistic Committee member. They’ll be glad to help.
Again , welcome!
