Email
This is easily the best way to contact us!!!
For any questions about orders you have placed or how to order items that are not currently listed on the website, please email us:
orders at quakersong dot org.
You can also email Annie at quakersong dot org or Peter at quakersong dot org directly.
Phone
For urgent issues, questions that can't be sorted out via email, or
to ask about booking Annie or Peter for a concert, workshop or
singalong, you can call us (Annie & Peter) at:
(413) 256-8596. But... In most cases we deal better with communication via email rather than either postal mail or phone calls! We don't check our voicemail as often as we should and may be "on the road". (We do not suggest leaving messages with others who may answer this house phone as these are much less likely to get to us.)
Mailing Address
You can write Quakersong at:
42 Jenks Street, Amherst MA 01002. Please use this address for returns. You are welcome to send us songs or CDs. We are working bit by bit on a Rise Up Singing sequel but it is a slow and complex process. We're sorry that we may not be able to get back to you with feedback given the volume of stuff we get sent.
If
you are in the area, you are welcome to arrange for a time to come by
our house and check out the much larger array of books and CD's
we have available for sale than those that are currently listed on this website. ( We can also email you a
list of the full range of titles that we generally keep in stock.)
