Anything will help. Really | Welcome to town!
Check out open stages around town. Generally that's a good to way to check out some musicians, meet them face to face and see what they're all about. There are a few small music festivals around too. I find those a good way to hook up with people.

Wow, this has kinda caught me off gaurd. Its made me realize how little I know about a city I have lived in for eighteen years.... hmmm, does anyone have any tips for me?
I really dont know much about the Edmonton Music scene, aside from it being mostly indie folk and hardcore music, as far as I have seen. I really would like to get more involved in the scene sometime soon.
Hmmm.... thats not very helpful.... sorry... |

If you are into metal, check out albertametal.net for wanted ads.

Oh, and it is my duty as a Calgarian to rip on Edmonton at this point. Edmonton sucks 
Is this a permanent move?

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Canada | | | There are a couple of great gear shops on or near Whyte Ave, including one called Avenue Guitars, which is (was?) something of a meeting spot for many musically diverse folks. Blues on Whyte is a blues jamming institution and a good place to meet fellow players. Good luck with the move, *The Chuk sports some great music culture.
*colloquilism for Edmonton, originating from its substantial Ukranian populace... |

I might have to stop by Blues on Whyte, I am too out of touch with the local music scene. |

That's my sister-in-law's band!
Small world. . .
Edmonton has always had a way cooler music scene than it had any right to have. I left back in '86, but got to play with PJ Perry, Bob Tildsley, Bill Emes, Wayne Feschuck, and many more great jazz players. Some of them are still around. . .
Don't know much about the scene there now, but I bet you'll find a way to fit in.
best,

06-21-2008, 01:06 PM
| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada | | | Strikes me as mostly hardcore and indie folk stuff. |

| | | | Edmonton's scene has always been pretty good - As a Calgarian I can say it's better than the Calgary scene has been in *years*, so be glad you're not trying to break in here :P.
+1000 for the guitar shops on Whyte - they GAS me every time I'm up there.
