FOUR NEW WORKSHOPS INCOMING!

Music Makers returns to The Iridium with our first-ever, one-night-only Themed Event—our 'Tribute to The California Sound!'

Located on Broadway, The Iridium NYC is iconic—it’s not just a venue; it’s a rite of passage for musicians. This is where Les Paul held his famous Monday night residency, shaping the future of live music.

The sound? Pristine. The vibe? Intimate yet electric.

Located right in the heart of Midtown, The Iridium offers a killer backline and a stage that’s been graced by rock and jazz royalty. From guitar gods to Grammy winners, the walls here have stories to tell.

Playing The Iridium isn’t just another gig—it’s a badge of honor.

After our wildly successful debut last November, we're bringing the vast talents of our valued Music Makers community to this celebrated stage!

Whether you've participated in our Bitter End workshops, or looking to join us for the first time, this experience offers something for everyone.

Compared to our typical eight-week cycles, this Iridium showcase will have a faster-paced five-week rehearsal cycle, coupled with tighter setlists. This approach encourages bands to prepare their repertoire while curating their high-energy onstage presence.

Short and sweet--a streamlined journey to an elevated and exclusive performance!

Ever wanted to be part of a deeper dive into an entire era of music?

In our first Themed Event at The Iridium, we'll be exploring the decades that can be loosely defined as 'The California Sound,' in four distinct workshops!

Any California-based bands or artists with significant ties to the West Coast are fair game. Each of the four bands will have a unique focus within this theme, so that the final show displays a full, kaleidescopic image of the golden era of California music.

For the same price as our classic Band Experience Workshops, you will also receive...

• A fully-edited multi-camera 4K video of your performance
• A mixed stereo recording to share with friends and family
• Professional photographs of you and your band
