Americana & Friends theme?
This session brings the songs covering wide range of Americana, Southern Rock, Indie Folk, Roots, and other styles (old and new). Check out the session song list at www.soundhaus.live.

Be sure to use the song filter choices when putting together your ranked preference list. Song parts stop being offered once it reaches 3 musicians selecting it. Those that sign-up the earliest have greatest selection options.

Happy picking!

October 31 RSVP deadline unless full before that date.

When you sign-up on soundhaus, submit your songs in rank preference order. Also, submit at least 2 songs more than your max song load #. If you set your max # of songs you want to play at 4 for the session, then submit 6 total songs minimum as this helps the system ensure you high probability for getting more of what interests you versus being assigned a random song. The more players we have, the fewer songs each can play, but the goal is always 3 minimum unless otherwise stated by you.

Multi-instrumentalists, for now, select each individual part and if wanting to both sing and play, put those selections next to each other. If not, then simply put each selection in rank order to your preference.

All that sing harmony....be sure to include those parts in your choices, even if further down your list. They don't have to be your top picks in order to get them unless it's a higher priority for you, but we want to cover those key parts as well.

If you RSVP and are assigned to a song(s), you are expected to show up by 6:30PM for the 7:00PM start and have your parts learned/practiced ahead of time out of respect for others on your songs doing the same. No group rehearsal. Consider this like a "gig" and not a traditional "jam". Your attendance does impact others...this is a fun, low-key event, but an "event".

If you need to cancel, provide a 72-hour notice, minimum, so I can re-assign your parts to others attending. Last minute or "of day" backouts are not appreciated so please think twice as it can result in removal from the group (unanticipated circumstances withstanding).

Once an instrument group is maxed with skilled players, no more in that group will be accepted but you are put on a wait-list.

No novice or amateur-level players please given the "no rehearsal" nature of the event but you are always welcome to come and see if your skill level matches up. I encourage broad participation but group experience takes priority. Band experience a plus.

All fun. No stress. That is the event mantra. Otherwise, what's the point.

Here are videos of past events. And remember, it's not about playing these perfect, but you would be surprised how close many of these get.

Event Fee
The $10 session fee, through 2024, can be submitted by either Venmo or PayPal on the Soundhaus platform. It will not be asked here on MeetUp due to their increased fee structure.

Any questions, just let me know, but I am looking forward to seeing everybody for this fun music night.
