What we’re about
This is a passionate community where musicians connect, play together, and grow their skills.
Whether you're a seasoned player or dusting off that acoustic for the first time, you belong here. We are an intentionally supportive group, building a chosen family through melody, rhythm, and shared experience.
Come hang out, jam, and meet people who value genuine connection and creative fire.
Events include:
- Free Beginner Guitar Lessons (Great way to meet people)
- Open Jams & Community Hangouts
- Songwriting Workshops
This community is for those serious about music and connection. Come see the difference it makes to join a musicians guild and making friends who share your passion for music.
(P.S. For those navigating tough life transitions like divorce or rebuilding, I host a separate, safe space called Divorcee Cafe**)

Free Guitar Lessons at Glendale Library
Glendale Branch Library, 1375 S Concord Street (1240 W), Salt Lake City, UT, US📍 Glendale Branch Public Library
~ Meet in Meeting Room A (Go to the front desk, turn left, and head down the short hallway to the glass doors)I've partnered with the Glendale Branch Library for this free guitar class.
Ready to pick up a guitar, dust off an old one, or just explore the joy of music in a supportive, fun community? This beginner-friendly class is your perfect introduction to finding your rhythm and connecting with fellow Wanderers who are building their chosen family.
I’ll be leading the class myself, and I love helping people discover the joy of music, especially those picking it up for the first time. This group is all about learning at your own pace, with zero pressure and plenty of encouragement. Each session builds a little more skill, but more importantly, it builds genuine connection. You’ll leave not just playing your first full song, but also with a few new friends to share the journey with. Experienced guitarists are also welcome to join, help out, and bring some creative energy to our jam at the end!
Bring your acoustic guitar (or an electric with a small amp) and an open mind. We’ll end with a casual jam session where everyone can join in.

This beginner-friendly class is your perfect introduction to finding your rhythm and connecting with fellow Wanderers who are building their chosen family – their shovel friends.
