Shoreline Ringers and COVID-19

New! Online CD Sales

Shoreline Ringers has always sold our CDs exclusively at our concerts, but 2020 has brought many new things to all of us (including socially distanced ringing.)

If you were waiting for your chance to purchase a CD at a concert, and missed the opportunity because everything got cancelled, we have good news. You can now purchase any of our CD’s online, even the ones that are not available for digital download. We have set up an online store through Square. Buy a CD (or several!) and we will mail them to you anywhere in the USA. (Sorry, we aren’t prepared to ship internationally at this time.)

Shoreline Ringers stopped rehearsal from last fall until March 2021, and we are gearing up for our trip to Arizona to perform the opening concert of the Handbell Musicians of America National Seminar in July.
