Buskers are aspiring musicians who perform live on the sidewalk, underground in a train station, or Central Park for free. Their musical styles range from acoustic to classical to folk and more. I was surprised to find there was not a single meetup dedicated to these adventurous musicians who play all over the world, so I thought I would create one. I have no idea where this will go. Perhaps we will find out where they play in advance and help build a fan base, or maybe we will find a venue and …

this group will be dedicated to creating a community of vocalists that can sit in with relatively simple songs at live events. In New York City there are droves of passionate singers that lack the opportunity to express their vocal capabilities in live venues. By creating a small community of vocalists and could serve to become a self sustaining group that has the ability to perform in numerous different midsize bars around the city. We will focus on singing relatively simple songs from bands li …

We are a group of people who love to sing. Bluegrass harmony is easy to learn, so it makes the singing that much more enjoyable. We have 2 professional musicans/instructors who come with their guitars and voices. We meet from usually in the vicinity of Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY. The cost is $30 per person per class. This may sound like a lot, but we have great instructors, and the enjoyment and camaraderie make it worthwhile. I just found without the professional leadership the group would get st …
