r/NYCJam

Hi!

I’m Matt, a 41 year old playwright, copywriter, and former musical theater performer looking for drummer and bassist for my new indie pop band. Influences are Cat Stevens, Oasis, and Conor Oberst, among many others. My friend Ryan is the guitarist - an excellent player with a day job as a therapist. In short, we’re solid and proud amateurs who have fun playing on the weekends.

We're looking for NYC-based musicians who are good competent players, not necessarily virtuosic or professional players (at our level, basically). 
People who have day jobs that aren’t music. Male or female both welcome, we’re looking to have a gender mix in the band.

Feel free to reach out with any questions! Happy to send a few demos if you want to take a listen and hear for yourself.

Hi! We’re a cute local pop punk band planning to play 6/25 at Hart Bar! Looking for a band to complete our bill. Let me know if interested!

Drummer wanted for emo band!

Hello! Basically title, my group consists of a four piece (vocals, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, and bass) but we are looking for a drummer for our emo project (flaco the owl) :)

We have about 2 originals and plan to work up to gigging/open mics. We meet at smash studios in midtown manhattan!

If this sounds like something you’d like to join in on, feel free to send me a dm!!

We have been doing a few covers as well, songs by joyce manor, tigers jaw, and MCR :)

Also: We are ages 23-late 20s so mostly looking for those 21+!

Also also: our guitarist told me to include that he is playing in open f and open d tuning :)

Weather’s looking quite nice this Saturday afternoon, so thinking of heading to Central Park with a few friends for an acoustic jam around 2pm, please DM me if you would like to join!

HI all, I've been out of touch with the music scene here for a while and i'm curious where the funkier jams are at these days? I used to go to the village underground on mondays sometimes for a more r&b thing, or Tambour in BK for a more fusion-y kind of session.

I know a ton of straight ahead swing jams, i'm specifically looking for more groove oriented things (could be instrumental could be vocalists, but places where an electric bass and a little overdriven guitar won't be shunned haha)

Hey guys, I’m getting more into beat production on logic and I wanna start going to pirate frequently to work on an album. If anyone wants to join just to hang/save money by splitting the hours costs that’d be dope. I’m tryna make chill hip hop mac miller, erykah badu, or even just experimenting with different sounds and vibes. I’d love to learn with some chill people. I’m mid a 20s guy who’s very frequently stoned so that’s the general vibe. (Queer friendly chill environment don’t bring bad vibes) DM me if you’re interested!

Hey there,
I'm in a band called Trash Romantics, and am looking to put together a bill of 2-3 other groups/bands to play at a club. We're a trio that play our own alternative/grunge inspired originals and some covers as well. Our Instagram and Soundcloud page is below.

To be considered, you must be 21+ and willing to play on a weekday evening, or a Sunday.

If you're interested, please send us a DM over Reddit here or over Instagram. Check out our tunes and hope to here from you soon!
