Chapter Events

HELLO HOUSTON MEMBERS!!!

Our next local Hang-Out will be:

Date:                Tuesday, April 21st

Time:                6:30-8:30 pm

Location:         403 Eats | 403 East Main Street, Tomball, TX 77375

WHAT TO EXPECT

Chapter Hang-Outs are on the 3rd Tuesday of each month for our local and nearby Houston area members to provide a unique LIVE opportunity to meet “in-person” to share and brainstorm with each other about new and helpful ideas related to our personal experiences and skills in songwriting, production, live performance and other aspects of the music business. 

While this may adjust, meetings will follow the following format:

• SIGN IN: When you arrive at the meeting, please order food at the food truck (if you plan to eat) and then move to the indoor area. If you plan on playing a song at the meeting, indicate that on the sign-in sheet and leave your lyric sheets on the table.

• PLAYING; SONG EVALUATIONS: After the lesson/announcements, we will play for the group - you can play guitar and sing if you'd like OR you can play a demo/worktape through the PA system. After everyone who wants to play has a chance to go through, based on time we will facilitate more playing as possible.

IF YOU INTEND TO PLAY

If you intend to play, you must bring the following to the meeting:

• MEMBER. While we love visitors and guests, per NSAI rules, only NSAI members can play at meetings. Sorry – it’s a liability thing. 

• YOUR INSTRUMENT. We’ve got great PA to work with but do not have a Chapter “house” guitar or keyboard. Please bring your own instrument, tuner, picks, strings, 9-volt batteries, and anything else you may need. If you plan on playing a keyboard, get with me ahead of time to plan. We DO have music stands in the event you need to look at your lyric sheet.

• LYRIC SHEET. Lyric sheets are welcome but optional. If you'd like your song to be critiqued, please bring enough accurate lyric sheets to distribute to each member in attendance (15 should be enough).
