Festival of Friends Events
The Bandsharing Performance Community
Festival of Friends Events hosts events in cities across the U.S. Whether you’re looking for performance experiences in your hometown or have plans to travel to a new city, Festival of Friends Events offers a simple way for everyday musicians to plug into local recreational musician scenes while offering music fans access to homegrown community and live entertainment.
Our curated events are less about performer vs audience and more about everyone in the room having a shared musical experience and the result is a party that's always entertaining. And as serious as we are about what we do, it's really just about having a ruinous amount of fun and making a lot of new friends. Performance Event Formats
|
Songmixers events are pre-organized cover song performance collectives. Each Songmixers event is comprised up of a rotating roster of pre-registered musicians who perform a 16-song set of classic material. Registration is open to everyone and is first come, first served.
|
Bandmixers events feature "curated" cover bands. Curated bands are made up from musicians within the Festival of Friends Events community and together bands perform 5-song mini-sets of material based on a specific theme. Some restrictions do apply.

Upcoming Public Events
Find a Festival of Friends bandsharing event that interests you and sign-up to reserve your performer slot. In general we publish events we're planning to host two months prior to the date they're scheduled for. This ensures participating musicians have adequate time to register and learn their individual playing parts before the big show. Festival of Friends Events welcomes your involvement in our bandsharing community!
