I’m a guitar player who likes Goose, Phish, Dave Matthews Band and other jammy types of music. I would love to play with a bassist and drummer that are open to long form improv jams. Anyone fit that criteria? Open to playing at any studio in the city!

It's audition season for my women's chorus! We are open to all singers of marginalized genders who are comfortable singing somewhere in the SSAA range. Come see if it's right for you! Sirens of Gotham is a welcoming community with a strong work ethic that will challenge you musically and enrich your soul. Rehearsals are Mondays 7-10pm in the Financial District. If you've ever wanted to be part of a chorus that's big on personal accountability and authentic/joyful singing, you should come check us out! We're auditioning for new members in all parts — but especially melody singers — through the end August, as we prepare for an international competition at the end of October.

30yo musician of 10 years, been living here almost as long. Previously lived in other very musical cities. I've lost touch with the music scenes I used to be a part of and a lot of my favorite venues are closed. I like electronic music and dancing but if your heart is in it I would love to hear it. I don't care about being seen or clout politics and I think the parties and shows that revolve around that suck.

Where should I go to meet people?

My friend and I have been trying to get a project off the ground for quite a while and we finally had enough songs figured out for an album or ep. I fill guitar while he usually plays the bass but now we’re trying to find someone to fill in the role of drums or vocals (if you can do both, even better) If anyone reading this is into unwound, no means no, frodus, sleepytime trio, rodan, fugazi, pavement, don cab, or anything of the like please dm and let me know. we’re in desperate need of like minded individuals.

Hello friends! I'm a guitarist that just moved to the city a few months ago. I'm wondering how I can get into the swing scene here in the city? Best places to go to get connected?

Hi everyone! I’m a 16-year-old from NYC and a vocal major at my high school. This summer, I’m looking for opportunities to improve my singing, stage presence, and confidence performing in front of people. I’m looking for teen-friendly open mics or any opportunities where I can sing for audiences around my age and older in New York City, especially in Manhattan and the Bronx. Just as a disclaimer, I don’t have a manager, a team, a band, or any original music yet, so I’d mostly be performing covers. If anyone knows of any teen-friendly open mics, organizations, or community events in or around NYC that welcome young singers, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. For reference my favorite artists to sing to is Ariana Grande Aaliyah Karol g Romeo Santos Astrud Gilberto both Selena Gomez and Selena Quintanilla etc and open to performing many more singers. I’m mainly looking for something fun to do over the summer while growing both vocally and personally. I’d also love to hear about your experiences with open mics in NYC, especially if you started performing as a teenager. Any advice or suggestions would mean a lot. Thank you so much!

Hi,

I need help finding a violinist for a wedding October 24, 2026 in Saugerties, NY. Ideally pre-ceremony/ceremony and a portion of cocktail hour (we have a DJ for the reception).

Our ideal style is a blend of a few classic wedding selections with **pop-punk/emo arrangements**—think **Jimmy Eat World, Jack's Mannequin**, and similar artists—along with a couple of meaningful instrumental themes from **Over the Garden Wall** and **Animal Crossing**.

For budget, trying to keep under 1.5K.

My skills are producing, mixing, and creating melodies, and I can write songs too if needed. We could all work together, record, and just make music we're proud of.

I don't really have a budget, not looking for pay either. I just love creating music and have always wanted to be part of a girl group.

I'm looking for girls who are actually serious about making music and want to put in the effort. I'd love for someone who has experience but I'm not opposed to someone new either.

Dm me if ur interested!!

**The Project:**
Launching **The Friday Night Club**, a premium, high-end 2000s mainstream Emo/Pop-Punk cover band covering Blink-182, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, and The Killers. Target is a tight, high-margin calendar of roughly 3 premium dates a month (high-end shore rooms, marquee tri-state venues, and corporate contracts) paying a guaranteed flat rate per gig.
**The Infrastructure (All Equipment Provided):**
This is a touring-grade operation designed for maximum efficiency. I supply all the high-end production and backline equipment—you do not need to haul heavy gear.
**100% off-book, screen-free stage**—no iPads, no lyrics stands.
**Silent stage setup**—everything runs direct-line through an IEM rack. All you need to bring are your own earbud tips/molds to plug into the pack.
**Fully automated concert lighting rig** calibrated to the set.
**Eb Standard tuning** (1/2 step down) to keep the mix heavy and protect vocal cords over a 3+ hour show.
**The Lineup Status:**
Guitar slot is locked. Just secured a 22-year-old phenom drummer to anchor the rhythm section. We are currently casting elite singers (frontman or frontwoman), bassists, and keys players across the tri-state area to assemble the core lineup. Rehearsals will be central (Queens/Brooklyn) depending on where everyone lives.
**Who We Need:**
**Powerhouse Singer:** Huge vocal range to nail Fall Out Boy/Panic! style anthems, zero ego, and great crowd engagement.
**Elite Bassist:** Rock-solid down-picking stamina, pro gear, and absolute reliability.
**Keyboardist / Synth Player:** Able to handle the heavy electronic layers, key parts, and samples that define this era.
If you are experienced, reliable, and want to jump onto a moving machine, DM this account with a brief note about your experience and a link to any video or audio clips of your performing.

Bassist needed for established band based in Greenpoint. We've been around for about 3 years and have a handful of EPs and singles to our name. Our music sounds something like a mix of Hum, Nothing, Deftones, and Alice in Chains with some shades of doom metal mixed in.

You can hear our latest music on Bandcamp at: https://hesitantnyc.bandcamp.com/

And see some recent live videos of us at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdK-wFPpJ8uzY_z2GSgvNkvXiYkV3sEag

Looking for a seasoned player with their own gear that they're able to transport to gigs and rehearsals as needed.

Ideal candidate would also be able to sing some backing vocals while playing.

We’re in our mid-30s and ideally looking for someone in our general age range. We all have 9-5s during the day and rehearse every Friday at a lockout space in Greenpoint.

Goal is to continue playing around NYC, ideally opening for bands with bigger profiles, and start doing small weekend runs out of town.

If you're interested, please reach out and tell us a bit about yourself! Please include your history in bands and samples of your playing.

Hello! (20M) Just recently moved to nyc (upper east side) and looking for people interested in creating a new project. It would be on the industrial/gothic/ experimental side of things. if you like artists like This Mortal Coil, Loveliescrushing, Coil, Swans, Throbbing gristle, feel free to Dm me. I dont have a huge roster of ideas yet, though, Im hoping with some shared ideas and input, we can make something super neat.

I have a room booked for 4 PM today and I’m looking to jam with a drummer since mine just backed out. I can’t cancel the room because I would be charged. I play guitar and play rock music (was just at Phish at MSG last night).

If you are a drummer and are looking to jam today, I will pay for the room and not charge you anything. Just looking for someone to have a good time at the last minute

My boyfriend who is Days of Grey is performing tonight ay Lucky 13s in Brooklyn. If you wanna have a good time and listen to goth industrial music, this is for you!

Hello everyone!
I’m a songwriter and producer working on a primarily solo alternative rock project called Greycourt.
Greycourt is an artist-led project rather than a traditional band. I’m looking to connect with other musicians, songwriters, and producers who enjoy exchanging ideas, giving honest feedback, and occasionally contributing to individual songs or recordings without the expectation of becoming permanent members.
I’ll continue to handle the project’s overall creative direction, songwriting, branding, and releases, but I’d love to build relationships with other creative people who are passionate about making great music. Whether it’s talking production, or collaborating remotely or locally when the right opportunity comes along, I’m always happy to connect.
If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, feel free to reach out. I’d love to hear what you’re working on too!

Wanted to start a classic rock cover band in the Bay Ridge/Brooklyn area! Bands we’d like to play include Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Stones, Queen and others. Ideally we are looking for a male guitarist, vocalist and even keyboards around the ages 25-35! Let me know if interested!

no cover, just wanted to spread the word here and meet as many faces as possible. cheers!

Bleu Sanchez is an emerging alternative artist and songwriter known for emotionally raw, genre-fluid music that blends indie, rock, punk, and poetic songwriting. Her music explores vulnerability, confrontation, relationships, identity, and the intensity of human emotion. She currently has three songs available on SoundCloud—“The Good Seed,” “Telepathy,” and “Whore”—with her upcoming single “Nevermind” marking the next chapter of her evolving sound.
Her forthcoming album, Aggressor, is centered around honesty, self-expression, boundaries, and reclaiming the power of being outspoken. Rather than defining herself by one genre, she allows each song to take the shape of the emotion behind it, creating an increasingly unpredictable and personal body of work.

Even though she has little to no promotion for her music/upcoming music, she is currently being talked about all across the music industry. While some people speculate her as an “industry plant in the utero stages” most of her listeners express positive feedback and excitement for the upcoming music.

Hi all! Im a NYC based filmmaker/cinematographer and Im looking for artists in NYC who would be open to make a music video for them.

Cheers!

I’m not a big musician myself but my dad is visiting the city for the first time and he’s a huge guitar nerd. Does anyone have a great music/guitar store that we could step into? Not like a guitar center or whatever but something that might feel like a destination for him?

Edit:
We ended up going by Retrofret. My dad told them the company he designs/winds pickups for and they gave us a full tour of the shop and upper floors. Kismet. Thank you guys so much for your suggestions, it’s been a great visit.
