In three days the most meaningful musical performance will occur.

In three days it will be the culmination of this experience with a live performance celebration to play the music they’ve been rehearsing for two months in front of family, friends, and the general public at the legendary Bitter End where so many all-time greats began their music playing journey.
These fine musicians not only deserve your support but also appreciate that support so much more than some seasoned, well traveled acts.

This program affords any individual musician the chance to be in an actual band that we form that is run by one of our supremely talented and wise Musical Directors who are in the band with you, guiding the music, direction, and rehearsal process so after roughly two months of weekly rehearsals you also get to play your set LIVE ON STAGE at a premier NYC music club in front of friends, family, and the public at large.
If you’re wondering what this experience may be like come to the showcase performance where all of our Workshop Bands will perform on Friday night June 30th at The Bitter End 147 Bleecker Street and see, hear, & feel it for yourself.
After YOU experience it you’ll want in too.
One of the most special aspects of the phenomenon that is The Grateful Dead is the community that was created around them which continues to this day with Dead & Co. doing their farewell tour now.
We have also created our own music community where musicians of all ability levels and walks of life are welcome to join us in not simply watching another band play, but play themselves in intimate rehearsals like this one AND live stage performances like this band will do on Friday evening June 30th at The Bitter End.
If you love music and you long to be in a community of like minded people who love and play music then you need to join us.
Nothing has the positive transformative power of playing music with others.
You deserve it!
Imagine a world without music. It’s frightening to do so but without ALL of the individual musicians of all levels from all walks of life contributing their unique expression we slowly become more music less.
Most people may think that the majority of music comes from the biggest acts in the *business*.
However, most of the music that fills the world comes from people just like this. People just like you and me. People who LOVE and APPRECIATE music as much as the most commercially successful musicians.
If you feel the music burning inside you but don’t feel like you have anywhere to go with it come see us. We have multiple ways for musicians of all ability levels to actually express themselves through music in their own unique and beautiful way.
The only thing holding you back is you.
Our doors are always open.
Can anyone guess the song???
Maybe a little challenging without the lyrics but the drum beat might give a clue.
Ah, the mind expanding and experimental experience of the late 60’s. The *sacred music* still inspires today.
The clip provides only a glimpse into what it actually FEELS LIKE in the room when the music is being played LIVE in the studio.
By the time June 30th arrives these cats will have artistically added all of the strobe lights, acid blotter, and tinsel to make this a LIGHTS OUR PERFORMANCE!
The only thing better than coming to see this June 30th at The Bitter End is actually BEING IN THE BAND!
