Hey girls! I decided to start this group because I think its time there's a group out there that truly cares about quality not quantity. It isn't easy finding girls who you can relate to, talk to or whom you can have that "sisterly bond" with.  This group is for girls who know how to have a good time, easy going, drama free and at the end of the day have the intentions to build meaningful friendships and in the process have a good time and explore what the city offers.  We'll meet for dinner, dr …

I have been organizing thursday meet ups with a big group of my friends for about 2 months now. We get together invite new people, have cocktails, network and end up dancing by the mid/end of the nights. Our group has grown and I figured why not invite more people out to join the fun and provide us all with new networking opportunities and a bigger better party. MY good friend owns the place we have been meeting at and has offered us 2 for1 vodka drink specials which rocks.  There is also a DJ t …

It's all about the L-O-V-E.... This group promotes a love for the straight-ahead, be-bop style that was born in the early to mid-20th century. Join us & help move this beautiful, "distinctively American art form" into the 21st Century by performing the material &/or showing love for those who do. With this meetup group, I aim to promote my own performances & those of other straight-ahead jazz musical artists. Some of them are here in NYC; some are on the other side of the world. Some I've work …

Anyone who joins to sing only in English w …

This is a group focused on the business aspect of music. So many of us songwriters, beat-makers (songwriters), producers, artists, and musicians know very little about the business aspect of the industry. This group is focused on coming together to discuss the valuable information that we all need to, not only be aware of, but implement at an early stage in our careers. We will discuss copyrights, publishing, royalties, and various other aspects of the music industry.

Share your knowledge and enjoy with us—We're exploring live musical performances from Early Music to Jazz, and beyond—and the musical impulse in the human creative experience, as listeners and as makers.
