What better way to get to know a fascinating touring musician than to host them for a night (or two) in your home! Occasionally we need just a few extra bunks to provide a good night's sleep for our out-of-town musical guests. They'd need private bed / bath accommodations; ideally separate facilities (coach house, mother-in-law quarters or that cool apartment above the garage) but a guest bedroom with private bath also does the trick.
Come learn the songs and find opportunities to raise your voice as we continue the movement here in Northfield.
Hot Spot Music's resident banjo instructor, Helen Forsythe, hosts a lightly facilitated bluegrass and old time jam (all instruments welcome, but banjos guaranteed)
Every third Monday, our awesome house band sets up drums, guitar, bass and vocals. Just swing by, sign up for a song and a role (instrument and/or vocals), and join in!
Bring your uke and jam with Gabe Meerts! Music and light instruction provided. No experience required! Just drop in and have fun. You’re guaranteed to leave in a better mood.
In "Songs of My Life", we gather to share our experience through songs, readings and our personal life experience. Doors at 6:30 PM, program starts at 7 PM.
Join us for a chance to perform on stage in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere. Great way to stretch your comfort zone or get ready for that next big gig! Suggested donation: $5 (supports arts activities)
