Bandhappy: Giving Fans a Chance to Learn with Their Favorite Bands

Christofer Drew of Never Shout Never teaching for Bandhappy

It’s hard to know where or how to start learning to play an instrument. But what if you could learn directly from rockstars? Well, Bandhappy, a platform built to connect musicians with their fans through educational experiences — both online and in person — is giving you the opportunity to do just that. This summer, Bandhappy will team up with Van’s Warped Tour and over 30 of its bands to teach classes live on site for their 3rd consecutive year! This year’s lineup includes bands like The Ready Set, Crown The Empire, The Word Alive and many more.

“This is a great chance for fans to really connect and get to know their favorite artists in a much more meaningful and powerful way,” says Bandhappy founder Matt Halpern. Instead of supplying the regular artist meet-and-greet, Bandhappy is going to provide fans with a way to learn directly from those artists who most inspire them. “It’s also going to be a great opportunity for  the artists to build a stronger relationship with their fans,” says Matt.

Bandhappy is also partnering with CreativeLive to bring you our biggest audio contest to date. This is your chance to show us what you can create — and potentially be featured by some of the best bands in the business!
