Vagaband: The Wandering Musician Performance Series
About the series:
This UMF series is for recreational musicians and vocalists who may be short on time or are unable to commit to an open-ended band situation but want play live music. You're interested in connecting, building community, and playing and performing music with other like-minded people in a structured band setting; minus the full-time commitment of being in a long-term band.
There are two flavors of our Vagaband series: Vagaband LP (6 weekly, 2 hour sessions) and Vagaband EP (3 weekly, 3-hour sessions) each focused on collectively preparing, practicing, and playing pre-determined cover songs as a band; culminating in a live performance at a local music venue. Each Vagaband will work with a skilled musical facilitator over the course of the series who will help Vagaband members rehearse and hone selected material. The goal-oriented format with this program offers a fun yet structured opportunity to come together quickly with other like-minded musicians and form a band.
Each Vagaband series is comprised of 4 to 6 participants (including a dedicated vocalist) and will have a particular musical "flavor" it's focused on -- Blues, Funk, Metal, Reggae, 70's rock, 80's alternative, 90's indie rock, etc. Participants are grouped together based on instrument choice and each series musician slot is filled on a first come, first served basis.
Who you are:
Maybe you've played an instrument in the past and/or you're currently playing but you're seeking fun and non-competitive opportunities to connect and play with other like-minded musicians. You have intermediate to advanced level skills on your instrument(s) along with the ability, commitment, and passion to practice material and refine your personal role in Vagaband outside of regular weekly sessions.
Vagabander commitment:
You'll bring your musical passion, drive, and determination to each weekly Vagaband sessions and you are committed to practicing selected material outside of regularly scheduled session times. Each week Vagaband members will convene and collectively review, refine, and rehearse material they've prepared for the week before.
Why participate?
