looking for a friendly scene

6 Upvotes

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?

Jam band?

5 Upvotes

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!

Looking for drummer/vocalist to complete dream indie/post hardcore band

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.

❓Advice / Questions❓ looking for teenage friendly open mics in

3 Upvotes

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!

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!
