We are a diverse gathering of cool, chill young people with open minds and adventurous, eclectic tastes. What most of us have in common is a love of Neo-Soul; the music genre that fuses contemporary R&B, 1970s style soul, jazz, and elements of alternative-hip hop. But we also love Spoken Word, and have other musical interests like Afro-Beat, jazz, R&B, reggae, and even rock. More than anything, what we love the most is making new friends, while having new experiences with an international flavor …

I want to help develop an audience for creative live music in and around Astoria. Making good friends and connections is also not besides the point! By joining you'll get invitations to local jam sessions and concerts right here in Astoria and Long Island City.

Hi. This group is for the underserved of us who like jazz AND gospel. Socialize with others with common interest as we plan events in venues comfortable for all members regardless of cultural tastes or religious background.

I love music. My tastes vary from Classical to Jazz and everything in between (except maybe country, and even that a little - tell no one).  I go to a lot of concerts. I thought it would be more fun to go to these events with like-minded people rather than alone. I'm a subscriber to the Fairfield Theatre Company, a great little venue that hosts some truly top-line artists. Joe Sample, David Sanborn, Joey DeFrancesco, Los Lobos, and many others.
