This group is for women and men who want to get together to hang out and play/sing folk-type music for fun. All levels of musicians and singers are welcome. This is not intended to be a professional music group, but more of a low-key, social jam session type thing. Hope you can join me! Peace!
We are a group of house concert enthusiasts in the Bay Area. This group is created as a resource so that house concert hosts can find additional audience, artists can make friends with hosts, and music lovers can discover interesting house concerts in their area. Don't be scared off if a show only has one or two RSVPs, because most of our hosts get most of their audience from their own series regulars who may not RSVP here. Here is how it works: Each event you post will automatically become an o …

It's like folk dancing, done in a circle. The emphasis is on creating an experience we can all enjoy. The dances are generally simpler than in international folk dance. Along with the traditional dances from Scotland, Israel, Greece, Russia, Mexico, etc., we do some dances to contemporary music, and some that are recently choreographed. Some dances are slow and meditational, and at the end of the dance, we 'hold the circle' for a few moments. Others can be more lively. We've been dancing in El C …
These days, most of the dance clubs and social meetup groups are focused on music from the 80s and later, from hair metal to house to hip-hop to funk/R&B to DJ mashups and the like. What is missing is a group with an emphasis on live band music from oldies rock and roll, to classic 60s rock (the British invasion, beach music, folk and acid rock, etc.) through the more popular 70s rock (Eagles, Doobies, etc.) You know the kind of music I am talking about! Well, THIS IS IT! Dancing to live music …

I like unique events that aren't stuffy and a little off the beaten path. I am interested in poetry readings, lectures, book signings, theater, art openings, experimental music, and other related events. I'm hoping to find a few like minded folks in the Bay Area who would like to attend these events on occasion with me! I am looking for cheap stuff to do so you won't find any opera or symphony events here (unless they're free!) So many artists out there, it's great to support your local art scen …
