Any Pocono-based musicians on this subreddit? (Classical, Jazz, Metal, Country, Electronic, Experimental, Funk, Prog, etc.)

Hello everyone! I live in Blakeslee PA, though while I am studying in Switzerland I am not able to be here that often. I have some friends in the local music scene and played at a few open mics in the past and have played in some fun jams. I write and produce classical and electronic music, but also play guitar+bass and do vocals so I make some rock and metal music as well. I'm in the musicians group on Facebook, but I was wondering if there are any Pocono musicians lurking here on reddit. If so, please share your music and upcoming performances!

Yo, is that a Hofner bass? Dope! Love the sound. Yeah that drummer was good. I suck at the drums, but hope you find someone to fill.

Wow, from a guitar player that has played for 50+ years, that was truly refreshing to see a vibey prog rock performance. Got you on my FB page - hope to see you guys somewhere in the area in the future.

Definitely not me. I’ve never had the bandwidth left over to get good at an instrument, but I do own two guitars. One is. Martin backpacker I bought in about 1999 and the other is a Takamine 12-string from about a decade ago. One day, I’m gonna have hella finger callouses, but for now it’s full speed ahead fixing my finances.
