These magical evenings of community & song are part house show, part art party, part jam session, part improvised extravaganza, and part evolving co-creation that takes on a life of its own.
DOORS @ 7pm
MUSIC @ 7:30-10:30pm
HANG 'til 11:00pm
OUR THEME THIS TIME AROUND:
Both Sides Now is a celebration and exploration of duality. Every story has two sides. The same flower looks different in a new light. We all contain multitudes, and sometimes two contrasting things can be true at the same time. With this show, we are inviting our featured artists to each bring 2 pieces that speak to different stories, opposing sides, contrasting truths. Come dive in to the duality with us!

A little more about who we are:Gaia Music Collective is an NYC-based creative community seeking to foster a more connected world through collective music-making. Founded in June of 2021 by Matt Goldstein in a living room in Brooklyn, this project was born out of a desire to create accessible, inclusive, playful spaces for people to explore connection, expression, healing, and release through collaborative song - spaces where folks feel empowered to make music free of judgment or expectation, and to make new friends as our full, beautiful, authentic selves.
We believe that communal music-making is a fundamental human practice, and this project seeks to build spaces for folks to nurture their relationship to music, whether they're shower singers, professional musicians, or anything in between.
All are welcome in this community: all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, classes, religions, abilities, national origins, languages, and musical experiences. All we ask is that you bring an open mind, a desire to connect, and a willingness to leave judgment of self and others at the door.
In short - we're here to sing, to play, to connect, to grow, and to have a good time!
With love,
The Gaia Team
