Welcome
to the Southern Ontario Fingerstyle Guitar Association.
SOFGA is an
organization of musicians dedicated to the promotion of fingerstyle
guitar in the Southern Ontario area. Guitarists from all musical styles
and backgrounds come together to perform, discuss and share their music
in a non-competitive and encouraging environment. It is a wonderful
opportunity to network and interact with like-minded musicians, as there
is always something to learn from each other. A typical SOFGA meeting is divided into two parts. The first is an open stage format, two songs per performer. The open stage runs on a first come first serve basis so arrive early to reserve your spot. The 2nd half
of the evening is dedicated to a featured performer. The featured
performer plays an extended set (typically 35-45 min) that showcases
their music. The open stage begins at 8PM and the featured performer starts at approximately 9:30. The focus is on fingerstyle guitar and the broad range of musical styles it can encompass. The stage is open to both acoustic and electric instruments. You may play solo or bring an accompanist. The stage is open to fingerstyle players of all levels and styles. If you are not a guitarist and would like to just come and watch please do! Otherwise, bring your guitar, do some playing and have some fun. There is a $3 cover charge which is applied directly to the cost of running these meetings. SOFGA meets in Hamilton every other Monday. Please see the Schedule page for details on meeting dates and featured performers. |
