When you say Musicians ,do you mean your looking for the Hip Hop Scene or Actual Musicans?? Try NY man. Only 2 hours away and you'll find everything you're looking for.
You have to be born in this city to appreciate it!!

WHen I say "MUSICIANS"

I mean musicians. you know those cats who learn to flat the 3rd to make it minor and still smoke weed in papers/waterpipes


Coming from a city of "houses" seeing row houses is kinda drab to me. Plus the women are different (they are nice in NY though)

Actually I used to take an Amtrak to NY and get there in an hour, but I'd rather work in Philly (where I dont have to pay through the nose for food/lodging) I can eat/sleep at the apartment.

Nuk come on up, you can crash on the sofa if u need to, u know u good just get here if u are coming

[Switchcraft]

yeah man,
Black lily and beat society are decent events... The gathering happens once a month at the rotunda on 40th and walnut... Metro Lounge can be cool sometimes for some DJs. Oh and hat Ukranian club comes with some crazy shit every once and a while, but philly keeps everything dl. Most cats are home working on their own thing for sure.

Philly is Definitely not the South The Hip Hop scene is very different people are very picky. I'm sorry If it's not to your liking...

[babyface_finsta]

Gamble & Huff... Philly International... Philly is serious when it comes to music... Three Times Dope, Jazzy Jeff, to the Roots... I dont even think Philly ucks with Down South music (maybe just the shorties)... as a matter of fact I've never heard a Philly cat on some down south beats... maybe I wrong... you might be stuck... troop up top or to DC...

Man I'm looking to find musicians and you are telling me about Gamble & HUFF. Hell thats like me talking about Jelly Roll Martin, Wynton & Branford and the gang along with The Meters if you were looking for musicians in New Orleans LOL I know there was some music made in Philly I just need some musicians.

As far as the local scene and people being picky, WTF does that have to do with finding musicians to do session work?

What I dont see on the local scene is alot of cats doing indi stuff BUT I admit I havent done enough searching. I dont see Philly as anymore picky than the rest of the U.S. a good record will sell anywhere.

Dart? what are you trying to record, live instruments?

Nuk: mainly guitar/bass BUt i'd like to go to a good room and do some brass stuff too

Hell I wouldnt mind cutting a string section if I get a vibe on a song that calls for it.

Every time I hear Sam Cooke sing "a change gon come" I get the urge to do ANYTHING with some nice string arrangements

[nukmusic]

Brass....LOL what you getting flashbacks son...LOL

Check out the Clef Club.

Go to Ortleib's.

Go to the Painted Bride.

Listen to Mike Bailey on WRTI late on Friday nights.

Track down/seek out the Roots fam. Since they are like an iceberg, there's far more folks below the radar than one would think.

As an ole head artist here in Philly, I'm only interested in connecting when I need somebody to work with and I have some money to pay them. But that's me and my issues.

Peace.

I never asked for someone who would work for free
