About Us
Founded in August, 2023, Windy City Wavs (WCW) began as a humble, weekly meeting between a small group of music hobbyists in Chicago, Illinois. Since that time, the group has expanded to hundreds of members on Meetup.com, in addition to a lively Discord channel. WCW is a unique group that has no prerequisites or requirements for our members - some of our members have been established musicians for years, while others are just starting out. The uniting factor between all of our members is a passion for music and an understanding to treat each others with respect, dignity, and acceptance.
Events
Windy City .Wavs hosts several types of events; for an up-to-date schedule of all our events, check out our calendar. Keep up to date on future events on our events page or on our Discord! Here are some of the events we frequently host:
TunesDay - a casual meet-up at 7:30 PM every Tuesday night. TunesDay was the event that sparked the creation of WCW, and features our members showing off their tracks to each other for constructive feedback. Sometimes, special events will occur on TunesDays, such as presentations of one member's DAW file, beat battles, and meetings with industry heads.
Showcases - a monthly-to-bi-monthly live showcase featuring a selection of our members. Whether it's a member's first live show or it's another member's 100th, WCW showcases offer a safe space for individuals to hone the craft of performing their music live.
Other - Monthly non-music kickbacks, community outreach events, individual members' gigs, and mental health-focused conversations. Join to learn more!
