It can be hard to find partners if your free time is during the day. Lets use this group not only for the regular meetings on Fridays, but as a gathering place for partner-finding. Take each others numbers, post on the discussion board, reach out and find each other!

Beginners are always welcome! Details: Fr …

Love Classic Rock? Who doesn't? Still, Meetup didn't have much of a Classic Rock presence, that is until now! Enter Classic Rock, NYC! Do you hope you never hear N Sync's acapella version of, "More Than A Feeling?" Do you think of The Eagles as a band, not just a football team? Are you aware that Billy Idol wasn't the first one to do, "Mony Mony"? Did you know that vinyl can be used for something other than seat covers? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this group is for y …

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.

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.

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.

Loose group, mostly boomers and those who like playing primarily woodstock type music, plus blues, and whatever inspires us.  Nothing formal goin' on here. Think: Joe Cocker, Allman Brothers, Stones, Clapton, BB King, plus some ol garage band favorites including Van Morrison's Gloria. This is primarily rock/rock-blues. It's loud, on purpose.  I'm sure there are good folk, jazz, bluegrass, and country jams around. This isn't one. Booze and etc. are not invited. BYO bev.  We chip about $15 each t …

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 …

It is indisputable that rock climbing is awesome but let's face it -- Brooklyn is soooo far away. If only there were an awesome climbing gym situated in Manhattan itself (that didn't cost an arm and a leg)... but wait, there is! Manhattan Plaza Health Club is located near Port Authority in Midtown West and provides 5,000 feet of climbing and bouldering to your heart's content. Come on, what are you waiting for?!?

Do you love live music, supporting local bands, and socializing in a club environment? This group celebrates an emerging new genre in entertainment: the theatrical concert.

Stand up and rock out, or stand back and drink at the bar - we want to meet you and exchange music stories.

OK women out there that are tired, bored and restless. Divorced, single, widows, frustrated females and housewives. Let's rock. We know who we are. We don't go to bars and do that scene. Just want to be ourselves but break out of the norm and feel good about who we each are. Afraid of being alone doing it? Won't dance without a partner? Always need that backup? Are you a "chair dancer" that want's to move but can't get the date out of the chair? Well, this is for you ladies. Let's show them who …

Activities involve: meeting up in line before shows, trading tickets (and beat scalpers), swapping music, and other forms of expressing general ...musical appreciation. This is a new meet-up, so feel free to join and sugges …

I recently posted this ad on Craigslist: I'm a keyboard player, suburban dad, 40, formerly a touring musician now a computer nerd. I want to play music regularly but I don't want that music to be from the 50's and 60's. I also can't join your band and start touring (as much fun as that would be). I am searching for a gig that has the following characteristics: - competent musicians - this means that you know how to play, can pick up tunes by ear and are comfortable just sitting down and jamming …
