Try Playing in a Rock Band

Ever wanted to play in a band, but felt like you weren’t ready yet? This is a beginner-friendly first step. This is a low-pressure group music meetup for adults who want to try playing with other people in a relaxed, supportive environment. No auditions. No pressure. No need to already be “good enough.” In each session, we learn and play one simple song together as a group. I help assign beginner-friendly parts based on comfort level and instrument, then guide the whole process step by step. Possible roles include: * rhythm guitar * bass * vocals * percussion * keys This is a great fit for adults who want a supportive first experience making music with other people, whether you’re brand new, rusty, or just curious what the band experience feels like. Bring: * acoustic guitar (or electric + small amp) * any instrument you enjoy * your voice, if you sing Also available to share: * bass * cajon * microphones This event is especially great for people who've always dreamed of what it would be like to join a band but need a lower-pressure on-ramp first. In the Wandering Bards world, this is where a lot of people get their first taste of what playing together can actually feel like. It also pairs well with our Beginner Guitar Lessons meetup, but you can absolutely attend either one on its own. 🎶 This Month’s Song Journey Each month we work on one simple group-friendly song. 👉 Drift Away by Dobie Gray 💰 Cost $15 per session - Pay ahead via Venmo to lock in your spot.
