What we are

Audition-based. Members are admitted via a short audition. The bar is showing up and contributing — not a follower count.
Adult-only (18+). A peer community for working musicians, not a school program.
Chapter model. Local chapters host weekly jams; everyone shares the same digital backbone (events, Pocket feed, jukebox, lessons, gear market).
Artist-affiliated. Our affiliated-artist roster includes Local Heroes, Regional Touring, and National Headliner tiers — all shown publicly with upcoming dates.

Quotes

“A 9-to-5 musician shouldn’t have to settle for solo bedroom takes. Sticks & Strings is the room where adult players actually plug in together.”
