We can talk about how you fit music into your busy work-dominated schedule. Maybe you'll find other people to play with here. Maybe we can help you put together a corporate band! Let's see what happens.

Hello all music lovers. I was in a marching band (snare and bass) years ago, however I had to stop playing because I was on the football team. I recently came across some real cool marching and drumline videos and felt it would be really fun to be apart of something like that again. I may be a little rusty after almost 20 something years away, but I imagine it wouldn't take it long to come back. If you like the idea, let discuss it. Where is it written that only high school and college students …

This group’s purpose is to organize regular acoustic jam sessions in a supportive and friendly environment. This is not an open mic. As I see it, the purpose of an open mic is for an individual to prepare a 15-20 min performance and present it to an audience. In contrast, the purpose of this group is to offer the individual, novice to advanced, an opportunity to play with others in a relaxed group environment. Come and listen, play or sing. There are beginners who have only been playing a few mo …
