Live Music

Come and join our dream pop jam session where we'll play some tunes from our Spotify playlist. Here are some of the tunes we've been playing so far: Pale Blue Eyes - Star Vehicle Pale Blue Eyes - Pieces of You Beach House - Myth Melody's Echo Chamber - I Follow You [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/67ByPXe4KbqHXb1bR4DQCX?si=9-gFCBwkTNGxP6FnDTnv9A&pi=7s5AQu7IRGewC](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/67ByPXe4KbqHXb1bR4DQCX?si=9-gFCBwkTNGxP6FnDTnv9A&pi=7s5AQu7IRGewC) This time we’ll meet in Troubadour studios on 157 Richmond Road in Fairview. The plan is to learn and use these tunes as a jumping-off point to get us into a dream pop style and approach to playing. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s about listening and learning and slowly shaping our own sound along the way. Whether you play keys, guitar, bass, drums, sing, or produce, come along ready to vibe, try things out, and see what happens when we put our collective musical heads together 😎 (Cost for the studio will be shared by everyone that attends).

Let's get together and play jazz standards! Get your chord changes from iRealPro, and the heads from the Real Book. All and any instruments and singers are welcome. This is an event organized by the community. If you plan to perform, please show up 30 minutes before the event, and say hello to the other musicians.
