ALL-PLAY!
All-Play means everybody plays! The all-play is a curated, audience-free evening of music, where everyone attending must also at some point play. If you agree to come, you agree to play (or sing), or help someone else play or sing on that year’s theme, while also be an encouraging and supportive audience member. Inter-generational, all-levels, with everyone finding the bravery they require, or their generosity of spirit.
We’ve co-hosted 28 all-plays, and what we have discovered is that there are some key ingredients to make it work. Pick a cozy location, pick a song theme, cajole your friends, badger the kids, get practicing!
LENNY collective musicians are open to helping you start an All-Play in your community. Contact me to see how it might work, and for a list of FAQs assembled by the Charlottesville All-Play folks.
