The blues is genuine, it's from the heart. It originates from people's desires to share experiences, to share a story, to tell others about the hardships as well as the joys they have gone through in music that touches the heart, soul and at times, the funny bone!. The blues is life - and death - plus everything in between! The blues are 12 bars and the truth! Calling all blues fans (and musicians)! This is a meetup group for people who want to get out and attend local blues acts, shows, festiva …

This group is an "electric" jam. The focus is Blues/Rock in the forms of Chicago, Texas, delta, country, and original material Blues.  Of course, we may want some acoustic instruments to add texture, but the focus will be Electric Blues/Rock. The intent is to increase the frequency to at least bi-monthly with a focus on playing out occasionally at an open mic. This jam is being hosted by in Downingtown with the potential to expand locations as the opportunity presents itself.  At our current loc …

There are amazing musicians who play mostly for tips- and I'm tired of seeing their work go unappreciated. I know that there is an audience who loves all kinds of roots based music- and would welcome the opportunity to be part of a community that connects with artists on a personal level. This group is such an opportunity.

The Jazz Spot was located in Brooklyn New York and was a live jazz music venue who's owners sponsored/organized this group for a FANTASTIC 7 year run (2003 - 2010)! MUCH PROPS to them and their fabulous efforts to promote Jazz in ALL of it's art forms. I'm keeping the name similar in tribute to their work! The JazzSpotters group will build on that same tradition as we search out Jazz performances, new CD and DVD releases, and even seek to put the word out on activities of group members! ALL jazz …

This group is about the joy of music, especially when you are making it and even more especially when you are making it with others. My goal in starting this group is to allow people to come together and play music. To get the ball rolling, I envision this being a monthly to weekly thing where we could get together, play, and socialize at member's apartments (hopefully some people with lots of space will join and we can all be merry together. Otherwise, my apartment will hold about 5, as long as …

Jazzville, NJ is a group for jazz lovers to come together, forge new friendships and share their love of jazz at performance spaces all over NJ. Our aim is to promote the rich diversity of live jazz available right here in the Garden State: talented local acts, hungry up-and-comers -- even many of the same Grammy-winning, world famous performers who play expensive, sold out shows just across the river in Manhattan often play to smaller, more intimate -not to mention less expensive- venues right …

I started this group to bridge a gap that I see in the Meetup Communities - a place for those who would like to share information about public music and dance events (social dances (Ballroom, Latin, Swing, Blues, etc.), and live local big band / jazz music) that is not tied to a particular instructor, school, or individual interest. In my own attempt to share information about the events that I produce with my own band, I found myself unable (or worse, not welcome) to share information with grou …

Classical music is like a box of chocolate. Not every composer or piece is for everyone. So dive in, sample a few and you may just find a new way to relax. Many people think of classical music as an acquired taste. We "acquire" tastes for all kinds of music without realising it such as country, pop, raggea,and jazz but most people considers classical music difficult to appreciate. It is really quite a diverse field of music and there is a wide variety of classical styles. Meet other Classical …

This group was started to help create a single place to find House Concerts in the Philly area. Initially I'll post concerts onto the calendar as Notes (with a link to more information about the event), and if the House Concert host desires, you'll be able to RSVP right here from Meetup. My theory is that there are lots of people on Meetup who are looking for unique experiences, and I'd love to connect you all to the House Concert experience. What is a House Concert? A house concert is an even …
