Join Veterans from around the country for an enjoyable evening of music, conversation, camaraderie, learning, and fun — all from the comfort of home. There is room for every skill level.

Whether you're a seasoned musician, just beginning, learning your first chords, or simply want to listen and enjoy the music — you are welcome.

Why join Music for Veterans?

  • Meet and connect with fellow Veterans through music
  • Enjoy a positive, healthy, and creative community
  • Play and learn at your own level
  • Share songs and musical ideas
  • Build friendships with Veterans from around the country
  • Have fun — because sometimes music is simply meant to be enjoyed

Music for Veterans also offers Zoom guitar workshops, educational music opportunities, in-person gatherings, and additional music resources. You don't have to be a great musician. You don't have to perform. Just bring your interest in music and come be part of the community.

Music for Veterans sessions are FREE for Veterans.

When you contact or join the group, please let Vinny know you discovered Music for Veterans through AmericanBuddhistSangha.org. We're proud to help connect Veterans with this wonderful community of music, friendship, and camaraderie.

Come spend a Wednesday evening with us. You may arrive for the music — but you'll stay for the camaraderie.
