“The Echo Mountain Session” tracks include:
“Eve,” by Andrea Rosal and arranged for choir by Lytingale, was the winner of Womansong’s 2024 Songwriting Contest. Inspired by a friend’s journey, it tells the story of a transgender child and their family’s love.
“The Thread,” by Sue Ford, describes the invisible connection between people, nature, and all living things of the earth. It is based on a quote from William Stratford, “There’s a thread you follow. It goes among things that change, but it doesn’t change.”
“Y’All Means All,” by John McCutcheon and arranged for choir by Lytingale, emphasizes the importance of inclusivity within the spirit of southern hospitality.
“Lead with Love,” by Melanie DeMore, is a rallying song for positive action in troubling times.

Womansong members were proud to show up and sing for the Hands Off Rally on Saturday, April 5th. It was a peaceful gathering of more than 7500 folx at Pack Square downtown Asheville. Womansong, under the leadership of Martha Burrows and Sarah Rubin, led the community in uplifting, motivating songs such as Never Turning Back, Make Good Trouble, and Lead with Love. Below see pictures and a select few videos of our time at the rally. Thank you to all who attended and participated by raising your voices with us!
On February 17, 2025, WomansongNC members attended the “People vs. Griffin” rally in Asheville. This rally was to protest the alleged attempt to overturn an election for Democratic candidate Justice Allison Riggs on the North Carolina Supreme Court.
Estimates of attendees are noted anywhere from 500 to 800. Performers sang songs of peace and love in support of a democratic system and accepting the results of the “peoples votes”.
WomansongNC was full of joy to sing Lead with Love with the crowd encouraging attendees to participate. Check out the performance by clicking here.
