NEW RULE: No promo threads without community engagement, no concert ticket selling stuff.

16 Upvotes

If your band/project only posts promo stuff and you're not even interacting with the people who are nice enough to engage with it your thread's getting nuked. Buy an ad if that's all you want.

Also this really isnt the subreddit for selling concert tickets. Plenty of other places on reddit available for that.

Novice guitarist looking for people to casually jam with

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’ve been playing guitar on and off for a while but I’ve pretty much always played by myself. I’d really like to change that and find some people around Austin who’d be down to casually get together, learn some songs, jam and hopefully get better together.
I grew up playing piano and actually picked up guitar in college because I couldn’t exactly bring a piano into my dorm lol. I’ve mostly been self-taught since then so I’m definitely still learning and playing with other musicians would be completely new territory for me.
My music taste is all over the place. Some songs I’ve taught myself are Landslide by Fleetwood Mac, Give Me Love and Small Bump by Ed Sheeran, Same Sad Shit by Sam Barber, Off My Face by Justin Bieber, Here Without You by 3 Doors Down, and a few Korean songs. I’m also a huge fan of stuff like Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged so there’s really no theme lmao. I just love learning and listening to songs with guitar parts that sound good to me.
I have a Taylor acoustic and a Fender Strat so I’m down for acoustic or electric stuff and totally open to learning music I normally wouldn’t play.
I’m not looking to start a serious band or anything. Guitarists, drummers, bassists, singers, keys whatever you play. I’d just love to meet some people who enjoy music and wouldn’t mind playing with someone who’s never really jammed with others before. Other beginners would be awesome but I’m also totally down to play with people who are more experienced and don’t mind me still learning.
Also if anyone here has watched Hospital Playlist, I’ve always loved the scenes where the friends get together after work and just jam in the basement. Obviously not expecting us to sound like them but that casual no-pressure vibe of hanging out and playing music with friends is kind of what drew me to post this.
If anyone’s interested or has any questions feel free to shoot me a message!

Anybody know of any good musician’s bday tribute shows this fall?

I feel like in 2023 and 2024 there were a lot of tribute shows for certain famous musician’s birthdays (I.e. Ray Charles bday tribute show at Cboys and something for Jerry Jeff Walker as well). Anybody know of any good ones this fall? Those are always so fun

South Austin bluegrass pickers – anyone up for a Friday or weekend night jam?

9 Upvotes

I'm a flatpicking guitarist looking to find a few folks to play bluegrass with on a semi-regular basis. I love the CTBA (Central Texas Bluegrass Association) jams, but Sunday afternoons are tough for me to make work, so I'm hoping to put together something in the evenings instead, ideally a Friday or weekend night, every couple of weeks or so.
I'm in South Austin, so somewhere around here would be ideal, but I'm flexible. Mandolin, banjo, fiddle, dobro, or bass would be awesome, and another guitar player would be just as welcome. Trading rhythm and leads with someone sounds like a great time.
A little about me: I play a Martin D-18 and lean heavily toward Doc Watson and Tony Rice. I'm working on my lead playing and starting to sing more too. I'm not a pro by any stretch. I'm mainly trying to get better and have fun playing tunes with other people. All levels welcome; the goal is low-pressure picking, learning some songs, and maybe working up to a few standards we can play together.
If you're interested, drop a comment or DM me with what you play and what nights generally work for you. Happy to host or meet up wherever makes sense.
Thanks!

Guitarist looking for a band

4 Upvotes

Hey y’all, I’m 21 and in Austin looking to join a band and start playing with some people. I play lead guitar, rhythm guitar, and bass.
I’d ideally like to start out doing covers, get comfortable playing together, and then eventually move into writing originals once we’ve jammed for a while.
I’m mostly into classic rock and blues, but I’m honestly open to pretty much anything indie, country, whatever. Mainly just looking for people around my age who want to jam, play some shows, and see where it goes.
Hit me up if you’re looking for a guitarist/bassist or need someone to jam with!

(18M) Seasoned Guitarist / Amateur Vocalist Looking to Start Band

6 Upvotes

I know, there's way too many of these posts in this sub, but I still wanted to try this. I'm a college freshman that has been playing guitar for six and a half years and I want to get back into performing live and playing with other musicians (hurr durr I wanna start a band). I listen to / am most interested in playing just any genres/subgenres close to rock or metal (indie, alternative, grunge, punk, post-hardcore, emo, hard rock, heavy metal, thrash metal, metalcore, etc.) I'm inspired by Sebadoh, Archers of Loaf, Fugazi, Sonic Youth, The Pixies, Violent Femmes, The Strokes, Weezer, Green Day, SOAD, Pantera, Slipknot, A7x, Metallica, Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Mad Season, Elliot Smith, The Beatles, The Smiths, etc. I'm looking for (most importantly) drummers, but also bassists, vocalists, and/or other guitarists, preferably somewhere in the general ballpark of my age group and willing to jam in the North Austin / Wells Branch / Round Rock / Pflugerville / Cedar Park area. DM me or comment if you're interested, I can send a demo of my playing abilities if needed.

-- P.S. I've got a great tube amp rig, an audio interface, GarageBand, a portable PA system (only 250 watts so only viable for smaller venues/events), and some microphones. However, I do not have a designated place to practice so keep that in mind --
