Who You Are
Festival of Friends Events are for -
  • Armchair musicians as well as routine players with an intermediate to advanced-level skill set (even if its been a while and you're just looking to kick off the rust).
  • Who can accurately learn material on their own and readily apply it in a live event setting. 
  • You enjoy the community and social aspects that collective music-making and live performance provide.
  • The only requirements for participating musicians is to come prepared and ready to perform (i.e., know your songs and your parts accurately), be respectful to your event band mates and have lots of fun!

Why Get Involved
The benefits of participating - 
  • Professionally organized events including high-profile venues and back line performance gear. 
  • Experience innovative formats to get you playing and performing quickly and conveniently; on your schedule and at your pace.
  • Simple, convenient and fun way to play in a band and perform live with new faces and old friends. 
  • Improve your overall playing through focused, goal-oriented practice time and live performance gigs.
  • Try out new musical styles you might otherwise not have considered or had the opportunity to explore. 
  • An exciting way to play and perform music minus any long-term commitment above/beyond the event itself.
  • Read what our community members have to say on our experiences page.
