BANDMIXERS /  SPECIAL EVENT PROGRAMMING

In addition to Festival of Friends Events standard Songmixers Series we also host curated "special event" programming we call Bandmixers.  The Bandmixers formats include "Artist Spotlight" and the "Discography" series, focused on iconic albums that honor some of rock music's most celebrated bands and artists. 

How It Works-

Bandmixers Participation Rules
  • All participating musicians are required to have an intermediate to advanced-level skill set and playing ability to participate (see FAQ).
  • At-home, individual learning and practicing of material along with the ability to accurately and readily-apply your respective playing parts into a group rehearsal and live performance setting.
  • If you're new to the community (and/or unsure if a given band is the right fit for your particular skill level) and have interest in participating drop us a note and tell us a bit about your playing background, ability to learn material on your own, etc.​​​
Bandmixers > Discography / Programming Format
  • We pre-select four iconic albums and choose five classic tracks from each to make up four Discography bands per event.
  • Participating musicians self-select into one of the event's four showcase album bands based on their primary instrument(s) and interest. Performing bands are made up of the same group of musicians throughout a designated set (versus a rotating roster with the Songmixers format).
  • Each band's set is made up of 5 curated (predetermined) songs from the album they've registered for.
  • We host a mandatory pre-event meet-n-greet (one per band) two months ahead of scheduled rehearsals as a launch point for each group.
  • We host 3 mandatory band rehearsals (per band) leading up to the live event.
  • Participant cost is $250 and includes:
    • Dedicated band members
    • Band meet-n-greet 
    • Band coordination and organization
    • Curated five song album set
    • Organized/mandatory dress rehearsal
    • Pre-booked venue & show promotion
    • Awesome live show for friends, family and community!
