Looking for other guitarists to jam on anything Dead. Love the old -timey acoustic stuff of Garcia and Grisman, but open to play any Dead tunes.

A meetup of like minded musicians that can't quit their day jobs! We get together and love to play dead tunes. All instruments welcome and players of all levels should join.

This group is for people like me, whose spirits are lifted after going out and hearing good music and sharing time with like minded individuals. I started this group to find other music lovers in NJ. Most of the groups that I was searching for were in NYC. I wanted to highlight the people and places that play the kind of music you have to dig deep for. Everyone has their own defintion of good music. Here is mine: Soulful/afro house, afrobeat, Funk/Soul(james brown to sharon jones), 50's RB/ro …

This is a group for LGBT rock musicians and singers of all levels who seek to jam, collaborate and create rock based music.  We play rock covers and original rock music.

My name is James, and I'm fairly new to Meetup.com; however, since my passion is centered around food and great classic rock, I figured maybe there are some other people out there who cook in their kitchens while they jam out to great tunes. This is the only thing that helps me unwind and fall into a state of relaxation.  For me the music allows me to be more creative in the kitchen.  I compare a great guitar solo to those last few seconds of making a risotto, it's intense, quick, and everything …

Let's make new friends and check out the NYC Jazz/World Scene!

I recently posted this ad on Craigslist: I'm a keyboard player, suburban dad, 40, formerly a touring musician now a computer nerd. I want to play music regularly but I don't want that music to be from the 50's and 60's. I also can't join your band and start touring (as much fun as that would be). I am searching for a gig that has the following characteristics: - competent musicians - this means that you know how to play, can pick up tunes by ear and are comfortable just sitting down and jamming …

Do you know an adult with autism or asperger's who *also* has musical talent or ambition? Let's jam! We're trying to gather a group (4~5) of "like-minded" musicians who want to sharpen their playing skills. So far we have a drummer and a keyboardist...looking for complementary instruments to make a complete band.

This group is for advanced beginner and intermediate acoustic guitar players that enjoy playing with others in a casual setting, and we are also for singers who want to participate in the group. The genre of music will be mainly contemporary and , pop, alternative, classic rock, and R&B.  You should like to play covers from Coldplay, Radiohead, U2, Foo Fighters, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, and The Beatles to name a few.  This group is not really geared for those interested in playing primarily fol …

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.

Are you getting tired of the same movie night and bar scene week in and week out? Are you interested in trying new things that don't necessarily include getting hit by paint, being strapped into a harness, or spending mad cash money? Are trips to NYC a drag because of cost and transportation? Do you feel like your "missing out" since the North/Central NJ scene kind of sucks? Are you a creative, artistic, musical or open-minded individual? Do you have a mullet-ful of imagination that cannot be co …
