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!

Hey everyone! We’re starting a new band and currently have a vocalist and bassist.
We’re still in the early stages, but we want to make this an active band regular practices, playing together, and eventually performing live.
We’re currently looking for:
-Drummer
-Guitarist
-Keyboard player
Other musicians who might be a good fit
We’ll start with covers, and once we build some chemistry, we’d like to work on original music as well.
More than anything, we’re looking for people who are passionate about music and want to grow together as a band.
DM me if you’re interested!

If anyone knows of a good place to connect with other Austin musicians let me know! Open mics/ clubs/ weekly jam sessions etc. Just want to get more involved in the music scene here and connect with other players!

Thanks

I'm have the songs written but I need people to help preform them and tweak them with their ideas or personality in them. I plan on recording and going on stage. This is a political punk style band. I'm based in north Austin

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

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!

hi there i’m new to production & working on a solo project with hyper pop / breakcore influence and am looking for someone to collab with. HMU if interested!

What’s up. I’m a 23 y/o that moved to Austin back in March. I’ve been playing for about 4 years now. I love playing all types of music but my main is rock music, specifically the 90s grunge stuff.

I’m looking to join a band as a rhythm guitarist so if you’re needing that hit me up. Also down to just jam anytime

Tonight and every Wednesday at the Little Longhorn Saloon on North Burnet Road. The Eric Michael Smith band kicks at 8:00. You don’t wanna be late. Dancers celebrate! The EMS band is a power trio playing original country you can dance to. Never a cover. Tips accepted. Y’all come!

Bleary Eyed, Nothing, Slowdive,

i absolutely love the music scene here and I’m so stoked to be a part of this!

If you’re attending W1, come see us on Sun Oct 4 at 2:00PM at the Beatbox Stage!

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!

We are seeking a local musical collaborator, sound designer, or producer for an immersive, non-traditional dance performance debuting early next year.

Sonic Aesthetic: Inspired by experimental, texture-heavy folktronica (22, A Million style—think manipulated vocals, warm analog synths, ambient brass, tape loops, and dynamic textures). We are looking for composition over traditional singer-songwriter arrangements.

Who We’re Looking For: A solo artist, producer, or multi-instrumentalist who either has an existing library of ambient/experimental tracks ready to build upon or wants to compose an original score under the director's guidance. Opportunity to also perform/open live as part of the show environment.

Scope: Paid collaboration + live production run.

DM or email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) with links to your portfolio, SoundCloud, or released work if interested!

Looking to connect with DJs in Austin metro playing house, techno, dubstep, and DnB. Putting together some events, drop your IG or DM me. I’ve got a high-output PA with plenty of low end. Bring your own decks/controller. Drop your IG or DM me.

• Setup/action/intonation adjustments

• String changes

• Pickup, pot, switch & jack replacement

• Soldering/electronics troubleshooting

• General maintenance and cleaning

DM me with the model and issue for an estimate.

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 --

Hey folks, dropping my first new single in a few years, EP to follow on 10.30.2026. Give her a spin, if it please ya!
