We want to play music with YOU! \nIf you have a basic musical ability (play an instrument\, know your chords)\, We welcome you to bring your instrument; guitar\, bass\, drums\, keyboard\, ukelele\, voice\, and more – for a night of playing songs together. We’ll finish out the night with a jam. \nPoint of the event is to have fun and make music together. There is little expectation beyond that. \nFormat of the event:  we’ll play relatively easy songs which are 3-5 chords. We’ll have a list to choose from for this event\, and we’ll cast them on a screen / or have on poster-boards\, so everyone can see the chords and lyrics. We’ll draw numbers from a hat @ 7pm and that will be the order of those wanting to lead a song. If you just want to play\, then just play! \nGenres include but not limited to Rock\, Pop\, Folk\, Blues. Typically\, we’ll be mostly in 4/4 time to keep things simple. I’ll start off the 1st song to get us warmed up\, then we’ll take turns leading a song (optional if you desire to). \nNote: we’ll play mostly “clean” in terms of sound\, but some basic pedals / effects are permitted such as Wah\, Compressor\, Reverb\, Delay\, etc. Ear plugs will be available. \nAlso Note:  respectfulness of everyone’s ability level is expected\, kindness is appreciated. This is for fun\, and there is no expectation that the songs will sound like the original nor do we really desire for it to. \nKeep your alcohol and drugs and pets at home. \nWe’ll take a break about halfway through to socialize and munch on snacks. \nIf you have any questions\, you can reach me by email: MrDaveStewart@gmail.com \nHope to see you there! \n\nNatick Music Makers \n\n  \n*Free if you’re a member of Common St. Spiritual Center.  See this link if interested: https://commonstreet.org/membership/ URL:https://commonstreet.org/event/natick-music-makers-3/2023-10-06/ CATEGORIES:Community,Cultural,Music and Arts ORGANIZER;CN="Susan Massad":MAILTO:susanmassad@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231008T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231008T120000 DTSTAMP:20260418T045322 CREATED:20230717T221336Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230720T000643Z UID:10006443-1696761000-1696766400@commonstreet.org SUMMARY:Open Circle Gathering DESCRIPTION:The Open Circle is a weekly gathering of like-minded spiritual seekers who show up to connect authentically\, share our truths\, and be held in the space of a growth-oriented and loving community.\n\nIn the Open Circle\, everyone has a chance to contribute as we move around the circle.
