When Sally Potter isn’t producing an annual singing festival or helping other communities produce similiar events, singing with the Arts Chorale of Greater Lansing, or leading local monthly community sings, she is teaching history and economics to students at Williamston High School.

Sally’s grandmother was an opera singer, and later, was a church choir director, producing countless community events over a fifty-year span. On the other side, her uncle played Dixieland jazz clarinet with Bob Scoby in Chicago in the 50’s. Yet it was when her brother taught her Old-Time tunes on his banjo that Potter settled into the folk music world.

A mainstay in the Mid-Michigan folk music community, Sally was a member of the popular trio, Second Opinion, from 1989 - 2001. Recently, Potter released a CD with long-time friend and fellow "Opinion" Pat Madden entitled, 'it's about time".
