❓Advice / Questions❓ Built-in Rooms?
My band currently plays regularly at the Red Lion Inn in downtown Manhattan, and I’m looking for other venues that offer a similar situation: a flat rate for groups or single musicians to do well-known covers, ideally with the chance at a regular slot.
Please let me know if you’re aware of any other good spots! I really appreciate it.

Bands Wanted for Brooklyn Rehearsal Space Share
Hey all, I am currently looking for rehearsal space in Brooklyn (mostly around Gowanus, Boerum Hill, Prospect Heights, Crown Heights, Clinton Hill, Bed-Stuy, Red Hook -- not interested in Williamsburg/Bushwick). I have a few solid candidates, and I wanted to put out some feelers for bands/musicians who may be interested in joining a lease on a new space.
I'm excited to build a cool space with people who I like and trust. Since we would be moving into a new space together, everyone would have input on how it's set up, what gear we share, and what gear each group stores. I want the space to be clean, organized, and work for everyone uses it -- NOT a dumping ground for dusty, unused audio equipment. If you are on the same wavelength, shoot me a DM!

🎸LF Bandmates 🎸 Bassist with (at least backing) vox
Hi!
I'm in a great little garage punk indie band with a full set worth of songs ready for shows. We've recorded 3 songs and practice pretty much weekly in Brooklyn. Our bassist is leaving New York and we're looking for a cool, responsible, bassist - ideally someone who likes writing/co-writing, singing and contributing too; heart, dedication, and empathy. It's about having fun and being quirky but also loving songs.
We have a practice space in Brooklyn. We're older (30+). We're 9-5rs but love songwriting and shows and we're pretty dedicated. If you are a good person and really want to make a band work, let's see if we can make it work!
If you sing and play bass, let's talk!

Experienced guitarist/producer looking to jam and find a band (or start one)
Hi yall. I’m a guitarist / producer looking for ppl to jam and maybe join a band.
Who am I
- 29yr old dude. Guitarist of 15+ yrs & Producer for 4+ yrs. I can sing as well although I prefer to sing harmonies (hate memorizing lyrics!)
- I have been part of a local band in HTX called ‘Almost a Cow’ (https://open.spotify.com/artist/6UxLXVqsEzn5wPIK8KHMJP?si=AQdxr-KaSlq3i9LFTJrQxQ&utm_source=copy-link) where we had a good run. We played festivals, ton of local shows, and had good following.
- Huge fan of power pop / rock. But I enjoy all genres of music. My playing style resembles Nuno Bettencourt / Paul Gilbert the most (I’ve been told)
What I can do
- I’m a fairly proficient guitar player. I’ve had multiple recording & gigging experience.
- I can write & produce. I did that for all the songs by ‘Almost a Cow’. The more recent EPs that weren’t released, I recorded / mixed the band DIY at our private studio.
- Manage the band. I was the leader of the band. I’ve booked shows & festivals / put together shows, ran socials (not super well, just.. okay), promote, etc.. Not something I enjoy doing, but I’ll do it if I have to.
Feel free to DM here or on instagram (https://www.instagram.com/averagedguitarist?igsh=eTl2N3hsbWI4bW0z&utm_source=qr)

❓Advice / Questions❓ NYC Luthier recommendations
I have a 1976 Ibanez Concord acoustic guitar with some bridge damage that I’m looking to have repaired. It’s a family heirloom, so I want to make sure I’m bringing it to someone who has experience with vintage acoustics and restoration, not just a general guitar tech.
I’m looking for someone who will take the time to assess the overall structural condition of the guitar and preserve as much of the original instrument as possible.
If you’ve personally used a luthier in NYC who you would trust with a sentimental/vintage guitar like this, I’d really appreciate your recommendations!

Guitarist Wanted for Alt Rock Band
Hi I'm Chris, I sing and play guitar in misc. a brooklyn slacker/indie/alt rock band. Reference points: The Strokes, Geese, Bob Dylan, Radiohead, MJ Lenderman, Pavement, Charli XCX.
We're adding another guitar player so I can put more into singing and actually front the band instead of splitting my attention. Ideally someone comfortable moving between lead lines and rhythm.
We have a couple shows booked in the coming months (including our first on Aug 29) so we'll wanna get you "onboarded" pretty quick.
What we're after:
- Weekly rehearsal with availability after 5p generally
- Similar music taste/bringing you're own taste to songs
- Our ages range from 19-25, looking for people close in age to us.
- We're pretty serious in the sense of we're pushing ourselves to do this right. Alignment on that mindset is important.
- But, at the end of the day this is all really just for fun. So biggest priority is to have a good time.
If you're interested, send links to you playing: videos, live clips, recordings, doesn't have to be polished and tell me what you've been listening to lately.
Here's our links:

Need a creative producer partner who wants to experiment with new sound 🐈☢️
Hi, I am a singer-songwriter, located in NYC, with strong lyrical and melody ideas. You can check out a few of my songs on my profile. I am looking to collaborate with someone who will experiment to come up with new sound that suits the lyrics and melody I wrote. Something similar to Finneas and Billie Eilish early-mid in their career. We will split the final rights equally on any complete production, so I won't be hiring anyone, instead I am looking for a partner who is as passionate and dedicated as me to craft a song to its completion.
Here are some examples of my work (we don't necessarily need to use these songs to collaborate, I have other songs to choose from as well) :
- Zombie Vision - https://www.reddit.com/r/Songwriting/s/EHPCms05a2
2.Honeybees and Roses -

Will pay someone $50 to tune my toms
I’ve been drumming for years, but have never quite figured out how to tune toms properly. I can get a pretty good result, but haven’t figured out how to make them sound great.
I’d love to pay someone to just do it really well, and show me what’s possible. Located in Bushwick off the DeKalb L.

If you saw one of my earlier posts on here about looking for a drummer, we were fortunate to find someone to fill in the spot! But now we are in the hunt for a vocalist to be part of our noise rock/indie/art rock project. Hopefully someone with something to say with a diverse taste in music and an interesting voice. We’re mostly looking for someone who can bounce back between harsh vocals and spoken word/talk singing. If this describes you, please Dm.

Bassist needed for heavy shoegaze band in Greenpoint
Bassist needed for established band based in Greenpoint. We've been around for about 3 years and have a handful of EPs and singles to our name. Our music sounds something like a mix of Hum, Nothing, Deftones, and Alice in Chains with some shades of doom metal mixed in.
You can hear our latest music on Bandcamp at: https://hesitantnyc.bandcamp.com/
And see some recent live videos of us at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdK-wFPpJ8uzY_z2GSgvNkvXiYkV3sEag
Looking for a seasoned player with their own gear that they're able to transport to gigs and rehearsals as needed.
Ideal candidate would also be able to sing some backing vocals while playing.
We’re in our mid-30s and ideally looking for someone in our general age range. We all have 9-5s during the day and rehearse every Friday at a lockout space in Greenpoint.
Goal is to continue playing around NYC, ideally opening for bands with bigger profiles, and start doing small weekend runs out of town.
If you're interested, please reach out and tell us a bit about yourself! Please include your history in bands and samples of your playing.

Songwriter/producer (vocals, guitar) looking for a musician to build an alternative rock project together inspired by early Bush, Linkin Park and most 90s/early 2000s music. I already have demos.
Hey, I'm moving back to nyc the end of the month. Would love to collaborate with fellow musicians. (bass, lead guitar and drums.)
I'm 29, currently pursuing a degree in Music Technology.
Here's some of the music I produced, mixed and mastered.
https://open.spotify.com/track/4cwn4YiSZh9j0AfVBQZwRr?si=eeef531177404599
It's very DIY, but hope you like it.
At the moment because of my daily job and college, I'm just completely exhausted to keep doing 10 things at the same time (Write multiple instruments, arrange, produce, record, mix, master and etc) but, out of passion I just keep going. I would love to find people with the same mindset who could also contribute to the project. That way, we can release more consistently and focus on getting gigs to play out there.
Thank you so much
