We hope you'll join us at our next FREE event! 

rehearsals are every tuesday and Everyone is WELCOME!

So…you played an instrument in high school or college…you enjoyed it, however life got busy and……get your instrument out of the closet now….dust it off…warm up the “chops”….trust us…your abilities will slowly return and you will once again enjoy making music for both your yourself and your community!

IF you need an instrument because you sold your old one or gave it away, let us know. It might be that one of our musicians has an extra you can borrow for a while.
