Seattle Bluegrass Meetup is Seattle-area bluegrass musicians getting together to pick, have fun, learn new tunes and hone skills.

House concerts and small venues are a great way to experience your favorite musicians in a more intimate and informal way. At a house concert there is no bad seat, because you are all just sitting in the living room while the musician plays just feet from you. Intermission usually includes chatting to the musician about what inspires them or why they wrote a particular song. There is usually shared food and a great opportunity to meet your fellow concert goers. Unlike big venues you really get t …

We're an autonomous collective of like-minded young (at heart) people who share a love of the arts and the creative process in general. I started this group because there are tons of us in this city, but for some reason, we all seem to be scattered or otherwise barred from connecting with one another in a meaningful way. So, I figured that even the littlest excuse can help bridge that gap. To read a makeshift manifesto for the group, click here: http://www.meetup.com/Twenty-Something-Artists-Wr …

"So, pretty simple. I like rock/metal, most of my friends don't and I figured I can't be the only one in Seattle who wants to see a few shows. So this group is mainly a venue to meet fellow concert goers, but those of you who are musicians feel free to use it to network, post your stuff whatever." -April, Founder and Original Organizer of Greater Seattle Metalheads "I just threw in to keep the group going when April stepped down, an unlikely despot upholding her plan of entrusting all members w …
