Festival of Friends Events

Festival of Friends Events mission is to foster the development and growth of community between adult recreational musicians who are passionate about making music without the constraints, pressures or judgment of the professional music scene. 

Festival of Friends Events shifts the playing experience from the living room to the stage and believes the best music is music made together. 

Introducing 'Bandmixers Roulette'
At FoF we love to innovate and try new things and Bandmixers Roulette is an all-new community offering introduced earlier this year. Bandmixers Roulette programming is a hybrid format of our signature Songmixers and Bandmixers series combined with a game of musical chance.

Bandmixers Roulette format is simple: community musicians, a mix of instrumentalists and vocalists sign up, in advance, for a "Bandmixers Roulette" musician pool (there's no fee to enter the pool) with 20 to 25 of you matched-up to participate in a game of musical chance by randomly participating in one of 4 Bandmixers Roulette bands at an upcoming, pre-scheduled event. Each Roulette band will have a genre-theme assigned and song selections are made collectively by the bands. 

Get Matched.

 Once groups are solidified, band mates are united and band genre-themes are announced at a Roulette Reveal happy hour. Roulette band members will also participate in online video chats to select the band's songs and determine the band's set order; collaborating to choose 5 classic songs from a pre-selected mix of iconic singles that align with the band's assigned genre-theme. Each Bandmixers Roulette band is provided (2) 2-hour, rehearsal sessions leading up to the live event.

Band Together.

Bandmixers Roulette programming will bring together many facets of our musician community that on the surface, might seem incompatible, or those musicians whose interests might conflict. However, the challenge for these musicians is to go beyond any musical differences and band together to create a unified group that represents the overall style and personality of the collective band members while honoring the band's assigned genre-theme. 
Bandmixers Roulette: Take a chance on new musical encounters.
