Brock’s Singer-Songwriter Club welcomes like-minded people to play, write, sing and collaborate on music.
The Brock Singer-Songwriter Club (BSSC) is one of many new clubs on campus this fall, but unlike similar clubs, the BSSC runs a little differently.
“Our main club motive is to create a community for musicians, regardless of genre or skill level,” said Lukas Jorgensen, a spokesperson for BSSC. “[But] a major rule that the club will follow is that no one will ever be pressured to perform music.”
Instead, the club hopes to form an environment where people interested in music can simply meet up with one another and connect on their similar passions, goals and ideas. From there, club executives hope that members will foster musical connections and network with one another in the hopes of building themselves and others up musically.
Jorgensen said that the club welcomes all kinds of people, even those who don’t play music: “Musician or not, if you enjoy music, then this club creates a community for you to be a part of.”
Currently, the Singer-Songwriter Club is structured around bi-weekly meetings during which members are encouraged to get to know one another and discuss their current projects. Their first meeting was held on Monday, Nov. 6th from 6 p.m to 7 p.m in PLZ308. The current dates for the rest of the meeting have yet to be scheduled, but they will be announced soon through their Instagram platform.
Designed to be laid back and socially structured, the meetings will provide snacks, coffee and games for attendees. While Jorgensen says that meetings are simply a formality at the moment, the club executives hope that the meetings will be a place for its musicians to grow and branch out from there. The club is simply just a stepping stone towards something greater.
Going forward, the club hopes to host events that will support their musicians to share their projects such as open mics, music promotion nights and jam sessions. “[We have] a strong motive … to provide a platform for any aspiring Brock musicians to have their voices heard,” Jorgensen said.
