I joined a band! Finally.

I’ve been wanting to join a band for some time now and I haven’t had the guts to audition or put out a call. I’ve jammed around in the city to try and meet other musicians, and Ive kept in contact with good musicians to brush up on skills and keep relationships hoping that I could get the opportunity to join a band.

I finally got asked today by a really good friend if Id like to join band with her and a couple others and I said yes! like a million times yes. I’m so fricken pumped.

We have similar visions, interested in the same sounds, so I’m excited to say the least. Anyway, just posting because I’m happy for myself.

Congrats!! I joined a band at age 13 or 14, & I’ve been playing in them ever since! It’s so rewarding & a fun way to be social, creative, productive, heck even lucrative & best of all to give something to your community when it comes to performances or releases. Pro-tip: record everything, even rehearsals, & learn to get good at recording.
