LA Acoustic Music Meetup

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

LA Acoustic Meetup was founded in February, 2008 as a resource for local music creators and appreciators to connect with each other, learn about new artists and celebrate the acoustically-driven talent which graces and inspires our city............. Through a blog of formal music reviews, LA Acoustic Meetup alerts hundreds of readers to the most compelling locally-based acoustic artists, their shows and achievements. Through this interactive publication, fans throughout the world can comment on reviews or share their personal experiences about a featured musician. .............LA Acoustic Meetup also hosts a real-time community of music makers/appreciators through Meetup.com, the world’s largest network of self-organized clubs and community groups. A discussion board on this site allows LA Acoustic Meetup members to network, recommend new local talent, converse about music industry opportunities, and provide feedback on LA’s ever-changing creative market........JOIN THE MEETUP at http://acoustic.meetup.com/91.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

YOU! Come up to me at a show and introduce yourself. I'll be the one with the crazy curly hair tapping her feet and promoting a random sing-along. The purpose of the LA Acoustic Music Meetup is to create communities of music makers/appreciators wherever it treads. If you have a recommendation for an artist that I should be writing about or talking about, send me a message with their info. If you know someone who needs more great music in their life, please send them a link/invite to this page.
