You know that feeling when you're sitting around a campfire singing with friends and you think to yourself "why don't humans do this more often?" The feeling of singing with other people is electric. Maybe you only ever experienced that at sleep away camp. Or maybe you're like me and you're a tried and true choir kid. Even if you don't sing, if you've allowed yourself to experience a collective song, you know what I'm talking about. Well thanks to the work of Matt Goldstein, we don't have to fully join a choir to sing with strangers. Gaia Music Collective started with a few friends in a Bushwick apartment. Since then, they've grown to gathering hundreds of strangers every single week with the express purpose of bringing people together to sing. They've got events like One-Day Choirs that don't require any sort of audition or prior experience. And if you're more into the campfire, chill vibe, Candlelight Circlesings would be perfect for you. I really enjoyed this conversation with Matt for a little bit of behind the scenes into a collective that I've had my eyes on for months! I'll be attending Gaia Music Collective's events throughout the Summer because it's the perfect way to meet new people and indulge my little singer heart. Join me!
