Collaborate with other musicians to write and record a demo in one day!
Sign up and get matched with a small group of fellow musicians, and on DEMO DAY, you’ll meet up at 7DC to jam, collectively write a song, and record it. You’ll receive hands-on guidance throughout the process and walk away with a demo and new music pals! And at the end of the day, all the demo groups will get to hang and hear the tracks at a listening party.

FAQs:
Do I need to have songwriting experience? Nope! DEMO DAY is for musicians of all types, not just songwriters. You'll be paired with musicians who we think will complement you. The goal is to get creative and have fun! How does the day work? *What time is the event? Each preassigned group has a call-time staggered between 11:30am-3pm and works together for about 3 hours, and then everyone comes back for the listening party at 6:30pm. After your recording session wraps, you can hang out or go grab a bite together (or can book studio time to play more) while the organizers mix your fresh tracks! Can I invite people to the listening party? Absolutely, it's a party! After the mixing break, participants and their friends will gather back at 7DC to listen, mingle, and hang out. More details will be shared to participants via email. When is the next DEMO DAY? They happen about once a month on Saturday afternoons at 7DrumCity. The upcoming dates will be announced in our newsletter and are marked on our Community Calendar. |
How do I get involved? Registration info drops on our 7DC newsletter and Instagram at least 1-2 weeks before each event. There'll be a pre-announcement with the date and time, too. You'll use the link above to sign up for just one instrument slot (not multiple), with a small fee to join. After you sign up, you'll get matched with your group and receive an email with prep deets. How many people can participate? There are spots available to form five bands. Once it fills up you can still sign up for a waitlist. Categories include vocals, guitar, percussion, bass, brass/woodwinds/strings, and any other instruments. You'll only sign up for 1 spot, even if you're a multi-instrumentalist (which you can tell us in your registration form). What happens after the DEMO DAY day? After the one-and-done event, what you do next is up to you! Sign up for more, keep playing with your group, maybe try your song out at The Pocket Open Mic or an Incubator House Show! This is so cool, where'd DEMO DAY come from? DEMO DAY is a fun new partnership between 7DrumCity and our pals at Incubator. We're psyched to bring their passion and creativity to our community! |
