About us

This group is for anyone that enjoys acoustic music - especially getting together to jam! Guitar players, keyboards, ukulele, singers, and more. This is for musicians of all levels to get together - some meetups will be geared to beginners and others to intermediate or expert. For those of you who play electric guitar, bass, or keyboards, you're welcome too. If we jam outside without a place to plug in, you'll be limited though.

Sing and Jam at the PCA, not all acoustic
Thu, Oct 8 · 7:00 PM EDT
Parish Center For the Arts, 10 Lincoln St, Westford, MA, US
This long-running, amplified, weekly music jam takes place in a beautiful performance space. You do NOT need to sign up for the Meetup. Typically, from 12 to 20 people attend, with a core group of welcoming experienced musicians.

The jam is open to most instruments, including acoustic and electric, and levels of musicianship, with a focus on easy-to-intermediate classic and modern rock and blues -- but also folk, funk, country and whatever else we want to play. Typically, we have drums and bass. Recent jams have included songs by Peter Gabriel, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Weezer, Ed Sheeran, and The Cars. The goal is to have fun and play well as an ensemble!

Each week, jammers put songs on a whiteboard, and we project the music on the wall. This allows us to play a broad range of tunes and styles. We share the vocals (house mics are provided) and soloing is encouraged!

Ukecetera!
Thu, Oct 8 · 7:00 PM EDT
Bay State Cohousing, 368 Pleasant St, Malden, MA, US
Join us for some cheerful jamming! We're mixed-level acoustic music players and lovers. And we love singing!

Our musical tastes range from jug band to folk to rock to pop to gospel to Americana. Yeah, eclectic!

We're mostly ukulele players—our song sheets favor ukes—however, some of us play guitar, banjo, mandolin, washboard, viola, clarinet, etc.; if you play any acoustic instrument, please join us. All are welcome!

We're a small, growing group: expect about 8 folks, some of whom aren't on Meetup. :}

No instrument? We have one or two ukuleles to share.

We most often play songs from
- Ukulele Clare: https://www.ukuleleclare.com/song-sheets
- San Jose Ukulele Club: https://sanjoseukeclub.org/songs
- Jim's Songs AKA Ozbcoz: https://ozbcoz.com/Songs/
- Our BSC Uke Song Collection
See *BSC Uke Resources for a more complete list of our song sources, as well as links to chord charts and other ukulele tools and music theory resources.

We go around, taking turns, each (optionally) choosing a song to play together. It's best if you can bring a tablet/laptop to view the songs chosen. Bring music you'd like to share.

If you drive: Park in the driveway to the left of the entrance (but NOT in the parking lot to the left of the driveway).

Public transportation: Take the T's Orange Line to Malden Center and walk ~five minutes (2/10 of a mile)

Meet Your Instructor
My name is Mitch “Pasha” Cohen and I have been drumming since age 12 when I discovered my lifelong passion for music.
I have been playing with the Boston Music Award winning group Mamadou for over 20 years and also play devotional Kirtan music with Adam Bauer and others.
I founded OmDrum in 2015 with the calling to show people how the drum can be used as very powerful medicine and a tool for meditation and self healing.
