This is a group for LGBT rock musicians and singers of all levels who seek to jam, collaborate and create rock based music.  We play rock covers and original rock music. I'm in a rock band and although I enjoy my straight band mates I want to Rock Out with similarly inclined brothers and sisters of the LGBT community. Please be LGBT and a musician or singer in the NYC area. Studio rental costs for a jam session will be split amongst participants after the 7-10-12 jam.

Do you love climbing and other outdoor adventures?  Do you love challenging yourself, and leaning over the edge of your comfort zone?  Do you find it hard to separate your love of nature from the environment you wish to preserve or the creatures you wish to let live?  Do you wish you could share this with others who "get it"? Welcome to Vedge.  I am truly grateful for the friends I have made through this meetup and the adventures we have shared.  We seem to attract some of the nicest, most thoug …

GOTHAM ROCK CHOIR (GRC) is NYC's first and only community choir devoted to Pop, Rock and Soul music. Every Tuesday night from 7-9 PM, members of GRC gather to rehearse classic and contemporary tunes by artists such as Queen, Bon Jovi, Black Eyed Peas, Jackie Wilson, The Beatles and many more--all in four-part harmony. It's like "Glee" for adults! Founded in 2009 to provide an alternative to traditional choirs and to give choral singing a much-needed sense of "cool,"  GRC provides a safe and supp …

There are so many incredible rock musicians out there, who haven't yet made it "big". It's my intention to bring light to these artists and actively discover new amazing rock acts that have yet to emerge and deserve recognition. Through this group, we can share music that has enriched our lives and attend concerts together. Please share with everyone the artists you love - old and new. We don't have to accept only the music that is forced down our throats by major labels.

This is a group for people who like to sit around and sing the rock and folks songs from the 1950s and 1960s and 1970s with several other treats thrown in. I have sung and played guitar over 50 years, know thousands of songs, play by ear, have played at endless parties where people sing along and have a good time. Also talked my way into a Beatles press conference. Probably best for those who don't need a song book or lyrics - just sit around sing what we remember, listen, have fun and meet like …

This is a group for anyone who wants to start an indie/pop/alt rock band. I write some music, sing and play guitar and have a drummer. We are looking for cool, low-key down to earth bassist, keyboardist and a lead guitarist. Musicians who are songwriters and back-up singers is a major plus, but not required. We just want to have dedicated and chill people who are available to practice once or twice a week, record songs, and do some gigs throughout city. Please let me know if you are interes …

My name is James, and I'm fairly new to Meetup.com; however, since my passion is centered around food and great classic rock, I figured maybe there are some other people out there who cook in their kitchens while they jam out to great tunes. This is the only thing that helps me unwind and fall into a state of relaxation.  For me the music allows me to be more creative in the kitchen.  I compare a great guitar solo to those last few seconds of making a risotto, it's intense, quick, and everything …

Let's get together and stay motivated! This group is for anyone who has just started playing guitar or who has been playing for a while but needs to stay motivated. You may feel a little stuck and need to get over that hump where guitar playing becomes fun. We can play and share what we are learning and hopefully make some strides together. This will be great during those times when you can't always pay alot of money for a lesson from a guitar teacher.

This group is for people like me, whose spirits are lifted after going out and hearing good music and sharing time with like minded individuals. I started this group to find other music lovers in NJ. Most of the groups that I was searching for were in NYC. I wanted to highlight the people and places that play the kind of music you have to dig deep for. Everyone has their own defintion of good music. Here is mine: Soulful/afro house, afrobeat, Funk/Soul(james brown to sharon jones), 50's RB/ro …

This group is for those who enjoys reading rock memoirs / biographies as much as I do. I was inspired to start this group after reading a Rolling Stone article about the 25 greatest rock memoirs of our time. I have never started a group before so suggestions from members are welcomed with open arms! I plan to hold our extremely low-key gatherings at various neighborhood bars in Brooklyn with great music to complement our discussions!

I have been rocking a Caesar Cut for almost 15 years. I am looking for sisters that are bold enough to rock out with a similar look as we enjoy other aspects of life. Hair shows, wine tastings and occasionally our children.
