I started BDC because I wanted to build a community around drumming.  Even though I'm a professional musician, I've always loved playing with anyone who enjoyed making in-the-moment music with others as much as I did. The purpose of the group is to build community, make in the moment music and share rhythm and dance based events. You should join us if this appeals to you.  Your level of drumming is of no consequence.  Just bring an attitude of awareness. Keep groovin', Brian

Sure, writers join writer's groups, actors join actor's groups, directors take the credit, and producers . . . well, they produce, but has anyone thought to hold a recurring party where people who work in different aspects of film can mingle and get to know each other?

Acoustic Musician(s) play an original and moving song, and then the audience members break off into pairs. Each person takes a timed turn listening to their partner talk about the song that was played. It's fun to exchange equal time listening. Everyone gets an equal turn. Then there's a new song, and the group does it again. There are breaks for refreshments and snacks.

With roots buried deeply in Appalachia and influences spanning much of Europe and Africa, bluegrass music is more than a musical genre. It acts as a common language of sharp guitar melodies and banjo runs that have bridged cultural and generational gaps for more than a century.
