We seek to pool our talent so that we can learn from others and teach others. Each of us has learned a lot along our musical journey, and we believe it is crucial to share the wealth of knowledge among us to create the best music scene possible. Our blog will feature expert advice on a variety of topics, but the most hands-on way to learn is through a Gathering or Skill Session

Ideally we would like representation from all genres of music in the Charlotte area. Our intent is to name the societies after historic Charlotte venues (operating or closed) who have hosted many bands in that genre over the years. If you would like to found a new society, please contact us using the form below and let us know what genre and name you would like to use for your society. From there, we'll provide information and best practices for recruiting and managing your group activities.
The entire, multi-genre C.A.L.M. will meet quarterly once our full structure is in place. Our first gathering happens July 11 at The Playroom (916 Tuckaseegee Road). Under the umbrella organization are smaller, genre-targeted "society" groups that meet according to their group's needs (we recommend monthly Gatherings). New genre-specific societies may be created under the C.A.L.M. umbrella by contacting the executive committee.
We offer focused, skill-based classes for just about any musical or business-related need for the music community. Currently we plan to offer the following classes, but feel free to suggest a class for a skill you'd like to learn if it's not listed.
Each genre under the C.A.L.M. umbrella is encouraged to organize a more focused "society" that tends to specific needs of that sub-community. Delegates from each society will be responsible for attending quarterly C.A.L.M. meetings in addition to society meetings. View the current active societies below and contact us if you would like to become a founder of a new society under C.A.L.M.
