Hendrik will play gong and singing bowls for this program. Often the sounds are long\, deep sustained tones and harmonic resonances that happen higher above droning fundamental tones. The sound serves as a focal point for meditation. Instead of trying to focus on nothing or on the breath\, the participant concentrates on the sound as it changes and develops. \nWhat to Expect:Please bring a yoga mat or meditation cushion with you. Several people have also brought blankets and pillows. You will get the option to sit in a cushioned chair if desired. \nProgram FlowThere will be an introductory discussion where participants can check in with the group. Lately this has included discussions about stressors\, anxiety and depression. We will do some breathwork to relax a bit before the actual music. The soundbath will last about 60 minutes. After the bath\, we will also have time to discuss the experience\, check in with our community\, and plan how to support each other. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email URL:https://downbyriverside.org/event/soundbath-with-hendrik-3/2028-11-19/ LOCATION:Venue: Arts Collaborative Medford\, 162 Mystic Avenue\, Medford\, MA\, 02155\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Music,Sound Bath ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://downbyriverside.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/bowl-and-gong-at-85.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Down By Riverside%2C Inc":MAILTO:info@downbyriverside.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20281210T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20281210T160000 DTSTAMP:20260831T224321Z CREATED:20260503T192702Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260831T224321Z UID:10001806-1860066000-1860076800@downbyriverside.org SUMMARY:The Jam Down By Riverside (potluck!) DESCRIPTION:The Jam Down By Riverside is a direct descendent of the now defunct Blues Jam at the Porch Southern Fare & Juke Joint\, which was a descendant of the Johnny D’s blues jam. The jam is for building community and building skills. We welcome people of all ages\, abilities\, styles and instruments to join in the jamming. We do not have a strict Blues Only jam rule\, but probably 85% of the repertoire is blues or blues-derived music. Please come to play or listen. \nThe jams are on the Second Sundays of the month from 1 – 4 PM. \nWe’re putting out a special call to teachers and their students to join us and we’re specificly trying to facilitate connections between people with more experience and folks with less experience. \nWhat to expect:\nThe Jam is first come – first served\, meaning you get into the pool to play when you arrive and sign up. There will be 3-4 different groups per hour depending on attendance. More people = shorter sets and more sets\, so more people are able to play. The host will put different bands together based on the abilities and instrumentation available from the attendees. Each group will have a bandleader (often the lead vocalist) who will call songs\, solos\, starts\, breaks and endings. \nThis is a potluck event\, so bring food to share or bring you own eats. We will have beverages for sale for your convenience. \nPlease Do bring your own instrument\, cable\, sticks\, microphone\, and small harp amps.\nPlease Do not bring your own guitar amp and unless you have talked to the host in advance. \nVolunteers will provide the following backline for players: drumkit\, bass rig\, 2 guitar amps\, 2 direct boxes\, microphones\, monitors\, PA system. We are taking donations of various equipment for backline. Please inquire about a donation. In particular we are looking for <15w guitar amps or modeling pedals. \nWe will ask for donations to offset the cost of the event and to show support for our organization. \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email URL:https://downbyriverside.org/event/the-jam-down-by-riverside-2-2/2028-12-10/ LOCATION:Venue: Arts Collaborative Medford\, 162 Mystic Avenue\, Medford\, MA\, 02155\, United States CATEGORIES:Blues,Jam Participant Performers,Live Music,Potluck ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://downbyriverside.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Blizzard-of-Blues-Group-Photo-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20281217T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20281217T110000 DTSTAMP:20260312T193855Z CREATED:20250727T192844Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260312T193855Z UID:10000462-1860658200-1860663600@downbyriverside.org SUMMARY:3rd Sunday Sound Bath with Hendrik DESCRIPTION:What’s a Soundbath?A soundbath is a performance of sound or music which is intended to relax\, to spiritually heal\, and to create a meditative state.

Hendrik will play gong and singing bowls for this program. Often the sounds are long\, deep sustained tones and harmonic resonances that happen higher above droning fundamental tones. The sound serves as a focal point for meditation. Instead of trying to focus on nothing or on the breath\, the participant concentrates on the sound as it changes and develops. \nWhat to Expect:Please bring a yoga mat or meditation cushion with you. Several people have also brought blankets and pillows. You will get the option to sit in a cushioned chair if desired. \nProgram FlowThere will be an introductory discussion where participants can check in with the group. Lately this has included discussions about stressors\, anxiety and depression. We will do some breathwork to relax a bit before the actual music. The soundbath will last about 60 minutes. After the bath\, we will also have time to discuss the experience\, check in with our community\, and plan how to support each other. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email URL:https://downbyriverside.org/event/soundbath-with-hendrik-3/2029-10-21/ LOCATION:Venue: Arts Collaborative Medford\, 162 Mystic Avenue\, Medford\, MA\, 02155\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Music,Sound Bath ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://downbyriverside.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/bowl-and-gong-at-85.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Down By Riverside%2C Inc":MAILTO:info@downbyriverside.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20291111T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20291111T160000 DTSTAMP:20260831T224321Z CREATED:20260503T192702Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260831T224321Z UID:10001817-1889096400-1889107200@downbyriverside.org SUMMARY:The Jam Down By Riverside (potluck!) DESCRIPTION:The Jam Down By Riverside is a direct descendent of the now defunct Blues Jam at the Porch Southern Fare & Juke Joint\, which was a descendant of the Johnny D’s blues jam. The jam is for building community and building skills. We welcome people of all ages\, abilities\, styles and instruments to join in the jamming.

Please come to play or listen. \nThe jams are on the Second Sundays of the month from 1 – 4 PM. \nWe’re putting out a special call to teachers and their students to join us and we’re specificly trying to facilitate connections between people with more experience and folks with less experience. \nWhat to expect:\nThe Jam is first come – first served\, meaning you get into the pool to play when you arrive and sign up. There will be 3-4 different groups per hour depending on attendance. More people = shorter sets and more sets\, so more people are able to play. The host will put different bands together based on the abilities and instrumentation available from the attendees. Each group will have a bandleader (often the lead vocalist) who will call songs\, solos\, starts\, breaks and endings. \nThis is a potluck event\, so bring food to share or bring you own eats.
