Encore
Encore provides veterans & first responders with opportunities to learn, write, play, record, and share music.
JAMS: Regular sessions of casual community-based music experiences hosted by a trained Lead Musician. Guardians of any skill level are welcome to join — using their own instrument or one of ours. Come jam with us in Beacon NY, Manhattan NYC, and Billings MT.
TRACKS: A unique experience where we facilitate professional songwriting, recording, and releasing of a guardian’s original music. This opportunity to share their story helps them process emotions as well as offer a potential professional path forward with music.
Through our Tracks experience, we work with a guardian on professional songwriting, recording, and releasing their original music on our label, Guardian Revival Records (available on all streaming platforms).
RETREATS: Led by a music therapist, these 3-day retreats offer guardians the opportunity to immerse in music together, providing a chance to reset through music & community.
We also offer beginner to advanced guitar, ukulele, bass, and piano lessons (via zoom) at no cost to guardians.
G-Connect
G-Connect (Guardian Connect) is a free program providing virtual & in-person experiences, resources, and peer support for guardians alongside those who have shared a similar journey.
What are G-Connect Experiences?
