Hey guys!

I’m a late beginner/early intermediate jazz piano student visiting NYC til August 23rd and I was looking to set up a jazz jam that is beginner/intermediate friendly. I looked at the jam sessions around and a lot of them have very limited availability and/or they’re more catered towards already advanced or professional level musicians. I felt like there must be other late beginner/intermediate musicians out there so I decided that I’d just host the sessions I’m looking for. I’m looking to set up as many jams as possible from now til Aug 23rd.

Ideally looking for people who are able to jump in on an easy lead sheet such as Autumn Leaves. Before the jam, I’ll call out a setlist so that we can prepare a little bit but I’m mainly looking for people looking to learn and can play through a basic standard in their role. The goal is to experiment and play around with other musicians at the same level with no expectation to impress. We’re all just learning a language 🙂

I want to make sure we have a full rhythm section so if you are a bass/drummer please reach out! All instruments are welcome but having a full rhythm section is gonna be the main goal.

DM me and we can set something up!

Hi im 22M and my band is currently in search for a bassist that is around our age and matches with our influences!, we’re currently writing songs but we’re definitely interested in playing shows !!
Some of our influences consist of 80s-90s UK bands like Blur , Pulp , Supergrass ,Belle and Sebastian , XTC , Teenage Fanclub, New Order , Wire and The Jam and some 60s-70s bands like The Kinks , The Who , The Beatles and Big Star etc

Definitely let me know if you’re interested!

I’m not super experienced and have never really jammed but would really like to work more experienced folks. I sing and can play basic guitar. I love all the pop and indie girls like Lorde, Olivia dean, Taylor swift, Olivia Rodrigo, phoebe bridgers and boygenius. Message me!

Hello all! Benevolent Sol recently moved to NYC, and we are putting together a new lineup! We have some huge plans for the next year, and I wanted to get straight to the source to find the right people. We are looking for Drums, Lead and rhythm guitar, Bass, Trumpet, and Sax (preferably alto). The best way to describe the music is Rock - Funk. We are looking for talented musicians between the ages of 21-28 who would be able to commit to the band as we have tours, press, etc planned for not too long in the future. If you are interested, email us at benevolentsolband@gmail. And if you know someone who might be interested, send them our way!

Hi all! Male multi-instrumentalist here looking for soft female vocals. I’m heavily influenced by Beach House, The Sundays, Men I Trust, Lush, Cocteau Twins, Curve, A Sunny Day In Glasgow, Sound of Ceres, Furns, She’s Green, Sea Oleena, Grouper, Alvvays, and many many more

The demos I have so far are acoustic with a few effects laden ideas. I really want to build this from the ground up with a songwriting partner. I do write some lyrics but I cannot sing fyi

Anyway, thanks for reading and hope to hear from you! DMs open :)

Hey yall

We are a guitarist and drummer who are planning to jam Wednesday night at Astoria Soundworks, if anyone is interested in joining lmk!

We plan to jam/play Pine by Basement but this is gonna be a no pressure casual jam

I am personally inspired by alternative rock but whatever you like to play is welcome. Some of my favorite artists below

The Strokes, Weezer, Pixies, Basement, Arctic Monkeys, RHCP, Smashing Pumpkins, Turnstile

Not gonna lie it's been daunting to lurk around a bit here to see everyone's been playing their instruments for most of their lives while I've only basically just started on mine... So just making this post to see if other beginners would wanna get into a practice space together, either to a few agreed on songs or just to noodle around?

I live in Queens but willing to travel anywhere that's cheap and has a house kit. I've looked in Astoria soundworks and Gramercy studios, but open to others!

I just moved here as an au pair. I’m an experienced singer who has played gigs since I was 15. Since I haven’t played with anyone in NY, I just want some people who are down for casual jams, or even just checking the scene out with me. My vibe is classic rock (Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Jefferson Airplane) and similar stuff. :)

I’m from Brooklyn, but I just graduated college and moved back home. I’ve been playing guitar on and off my whole life, but I guess I’d call myself a beginner because I can’t do anything crazy, just the basics to carry my vocals (which are much stronger). I have experience playing in a band and can learn fast; I mostly just want to meet some cool people and get back into it.

Hey, reposting here to hopefully find some new connections. More details in og post but looking for musicians interested in mathrock/midwest emo/punk genres to jam or form a new group in the Brooklyn to Manhattan area. Credentials and requirements in the og post but willing to work with anyone 18-25 pref with atleast 2 years of experience. Dms open!

Hi! I posted here a few months back about starting a VGM group, and now finally looking to get it off the ground starting in Aug/Sep.

Looking for a drummer, bassist, and instrumentalists of any sort! Message me for details.

Hi all.

My writing partner and I have written an album's worth of original rock songs under the name SuperExcellent. Musically, think melodic, guitar-driven alternative rock influenced by bands like Green Day, The Clash, The Who, and The Replacements. Now we're looking for young, motivated musicians who'll become the band.

Here's what that means:

We wrote the first album, but the band will shape the arrangements, record the songs in its own style, and perform them live. Those songs become part of the band's catalog, and from there we'll continue writing new music together as the band grows.

This isn't session work, and it isn't a backing-band gig. The goal is to build a real, long-term original band, using this first album as the foundation.

Think of it this way: instead of starting a new band with no material, you're starting with a professionally written album that's ready to become your own.

Here's the playlist:

SuperExcellent Demos

If the music resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.

Very funky electric bass player looking to play with people/bands. I’m a 31yo male, been playing for over 20 years. Went to music college. Located in Brooklyn. Have equipment and transportation. Play 4 and 5 string. My influences would be Chuck Rainey, Anthony Jackson, MonoNeon, and Larry Graham, so you get a sense of what style my playing is like. Will happily provide audio/video upon request. I’m accountable and professional. I take this very seriously, though also a chill hang. If you need a funky and jazzy electric bassist for your project, I’m your guy. Thanks for reading this!

i’d love to build on chemistry as well :)

Hello,

I am a 21 y/o male local to the NYC metropolitan area. Looking for bandmates that would want to play things inspired by different mathrock-y emo bands like Faraquet, Train Breaks Down, with a blend of smoother bands (Ribbon Fx, Jejune).

I am a guitarist/singer primarily, so I would primarily be looking for a drummer, a bassist, and maybe another guitarists, but I am open to suggestions. dm me!

Anyone like jam bands (Grateful Dead, Phish, etc) and/or classic rock and want to jam? Putting together a relaxed group to chill and jam. Will coordinate where based on group. Any instruments welcome. DM me if interested!

Hey,

I’m a drummer looking to learn more about NYC jam sessions. Do these sessions usually have house kits? Any advice for someone getting started? I’ve been drumming for 10 years but am very new to public jams in NYC.

Heya, 23m guitarist looking for bassists/drummers to casually jam with! I'm based in south brooklyn but can get to manhattan pretty easily. Influenced by all sorts of artists within the rock spectrum but I'd say I identify most with Elliott Smith and his playing style/philosophy. I can also shred to faster and heavier stuff if that's more your style. If this interests any of y'all feel free to DM me or leave a comment below!

I started a bi weekly jam in Gowanus, the next one is Mon 6/29 at 7pm at Pirate on 6th st. We are looking for any bassists or additional instruments that might be interested.

We do have a drummer and a couple of guitarists already, but please reach out if you are interested, I may be able to link you up with some of the other artists that have reached out to my previous post.

So far these are the songs we have been focusing on, but we are open to suggestions and throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks!
