the best community i have found is in the local music scene where i live. all of my friends are either in bands or are there to support their friends and their music. even if you’re not super into music, there’s still so much community in going out to shows and events to meet people you might not have met otherwise. genuinely some of the most authentic connections and friendships i have are with people i met in at diy shows in backyards. it’s worth a shot to just go to a show alone and see who you meet!!

i can’t imagine not going to a show every week to see music. if i wasn’t standing in someone’s backyard watching a local DIY band or going to a bar to see a small touring act, i would be rotting at home. i love supporting live music (especially when the live music is my friends!!)

Life gets exponentially better when you become entrenched in your city’s local music scene. Obviously, I’m absolutely spoiled that for me that’s Montreal, which I unbiased truly believe has one of the best independent scenes in North America. But, you save money when some of your fave bands play for $10-$20. Through COVID, and sadly too long after, I was just doing my radio show in this loner little bubble, not connecting with the people whose music I was playing, feeling super creatively stifled. But, since pushing myself out of the house, I’ve felt like part of actual community. Like you can go to a show alone and I promise someone will talk to you and you can make a friend!! Also, getting to turn your friends onto small acts is so fun. Anyways, stan HAWA B.
