Chris P.

“TLC is about more than the music. It’s about how the music moves us, not just physically but mentally. Whether is therapeutic or just to rock out, TLC brings people together with a common thread- their appreciation of music.”

 

– Chris P.

Bradford H.

“The Listening Club is more than a gathering of music lovers who wish to share their latest finds. It’s a reason for people to come together and have a dialogue. Music has served as a bridge between humans for as long as they have existed on this earth, and this is what makes The Listening Club such a natural space to have meaningful connections.”
 

– Bradford H.

Christine G.

“At this time when our worlds have grown smaller, The Listening Club is here to expand our worlds a little. TLC brings us new sounds to experience and new lyrics and stories to connect with- while we
are meeting and making new friends. Music is meant to be shared – that’s what TLC is about!”

 

– Christine G

Mike H.

“TLC has been a true COVID blessing– a special opportunity to rekindle meaningful friendships that have always been fueled in part by the joy of sharing music.”

 

– Mike H.

Lizzy S.

“I freaking love those conversations where you jump from topic to topic — from love and breakups, to grief and gratitude, to the mundane details of our day that we use as personal north stars. TLC gave a springboard to connect with the group on these big questions, and made me feel like I wasn’t so alone in not knowing the answers.”

 

– Lizzy S.

Eric F.

“The Listening Club is some of the most fun I’ve had in a long time. It’s a great way to enjoy music and meet other people who love to rock out … a perfect past time for Covid and beyond.”

 

– Eric F.

Danielle G.

“So happy to have joined TLC! The group has been an amazing way to connect with people during quarantine and a way for music lovers to share and learn about many different types of music that are near and dear to people’s hearts and souls. Thank you TLC!”

 

– Danielle G.

Peter R.

“I will be listening to a song alone and think, this would be great to share in a TLC session and then begin to consider what I would say about it and to think about why I wanted to share it. In that way TLC has brought a sense of community into even my private listening.”

 

– Peter R.

Pete S.

“Great music stays relevant and transcends time, culture and lived experience, because it reflects the sharing of the human soul that everyone can tap into. Sharing music you love with others is essentially the sharing of the transcendent, the soul, a much deeper connection full of unarticulated meaning and substance.”

 

– Pete S.

Dan S.

“The Listening Club sessions have done wonders for me. Truly healing. What’s better than sharing songs, listening to music together, and connecting through stories? Its been great to learn about new bands and meet new people. “

 

– Dan S.

Jeff W.

“The Listening Club is a great concept and a lot of fun. Being a lover of music it’s great to get turned on to new music and to discuss it with others as to what it means to them. I also love being able to expose people to different music.”

 

– Jeff W.

Diane M.

“Talking about why we like the music we like opens up an array of ideas and emotions. Hearing how other people react to the music that is significant to us is both enlightening and intriguing. TLC is a fun way to spend a couple of hours.”

 

– Diane M.

John D.

“The Listening Club is great because it allows people from all around to share what they are passionate about—music. We could all use more of this kind of positivity in our lives.”

 

– John D.

Matt K.

“TLC came at the perfect time; I was longing for connection and community, and with TLC, I found both! With TLC, I have met some truly amazing people and while we all come from different walks in life, we all share a love of music that unites us.”

 

– Matt K.

Danny G.

“There’s not much better than discovering and sharing good music while connecting with friends old and new. In the absence of live shows during the pandemic, TLC has been a great way to tap into some of the feelings surfaced by a good communal music experience.”

 

– Danny G.

Brent L.

“TLC gave me the opportunity to reconnect with some friends I hadn’t seen or spoken to in way too long, it gave us all the opportunity to bond and reminisce over a wide variety of songs, some I’d never heard, as well as some I hadn’t heard in a long time that brought back a flood of great memories and took on new meaning based on the experiences I’ve lived and the changes I’ve gone through as a person since last hearing them. Music truly is medicine for the soul and a TLC session is a special way to administer and receive it. “

– Brent L.

David A.

“TLC has helped me reconnect with friends that I had not spoken to since I was half my current age. Sharing music with these friends really opened up the conversation and allowed for a thoughtful back and forth. My song selections were very different from the others in the group and I appreciated the wide range of music that we listened to. Thanks to the three friends that shared an hour to connect over music, and thanks to TLC for helping it happen!”

– David A.

Rachel F.

“I have always loved music, but I haven’t always made the time to really sit and listen to it. I loved doing a TLC session – it reminded me how much more meaningful music can be when I don’t do anything else while I am listening. And it reminded me how much you can learn about a person during a conversation that starts with a song. “

 

– Rachel F.

Patrice S.

“Seeing live music is hands down the thing I miss most about quarantine life. Laughing and hearing stories about other TLC member’s live music experiences and the thoughts and feelings that listening to a song can bring up is so powerful. It fills me up almost as much as seeing live music does. “
