I am a solo musician; vocalist, electric and acoustic guitar experiments accompanied by a variety of rhythm tracks that I constructed.  I use this meet-up site to invite interested mature people to my performances.  I believe you will find it well worth your time to come out with a friend, celebrate a special moment, or whatever.  It's all good.  If you admire Jazz and R&B and like just different stuff, you will love my show.  Take a break from your usual.  My current venue on Tuesday nights at …

Learning to play acoustic guitar? You don't have to be a pro to make great music... come jam with us! We're a group of beginner/intermediate guitarists getting together to play in the U Street/Columbia Heights/ Dupont area.

Meetings will be ad hoc in the winter, but in the summer we're planning a …

This group’s purpose is to organize regular acoustic jam sessions in a supportive and friendly environment. This is not an open mic. As I see it, the purpose of an open mic is for an individual to prepare a 15-20 min performance and present it to an audience. In contrast, the purpose of this group is to offer the individual, novice to advanced, an opportunity to play with others in a relaxed group environment. Come and listen, play or sing. There are beginners who have only been playing a few mo …

Did you take a few lessons and then stop picking up your guitar? Have you been wanting to improve your skills and meet other people who are learning too? This is an experiment to see if there are any other people around Broadlands who'd like to get together, dust off their guitar, and share the chords and riffs they've learned, in a setting where you won't be embarrassed - it's FOR people who don't really know how to play yet. Of course, if you're not a beginning and wouldn't mind getting togeth …

If you're a beginner, a basement rock star, a living room legend or a performing pro, THIS is where you let it shine. Open Mics, backyard jams, shows, private & public events. A place to learn and teach, but most of all, just to have fun with a bunch of (generally) acoustic musicians, singers and friends doing what they love to do!!!
