A PLACE TO BELONG
We're building a community where musicians become friends. Yes, you'll learn and grow. But first and foremost, you'll find your people—the ones who want to play, create, and build something together.
THE NETWORK //
A real social network.
Just for musicians.
The Pocket is the closed social layer for Sticks & Strings members. Audition in once and you're inside a feed that isn't trying to sell you anything, a DM inbox that isn't full of sliding randos, and a crew system built around the work — not engagement metrics.
Audition-only — every member plays an instrument. Beginners welcome; the point is to play more, not flex chops. No bots, no influencers selling courses.
No algorithm. Posts show up in time order. Your reach isn't metered by an engagement model.
Built around the work — gear swap, jam sessions, chapter shows, crew rehearsals.
Real conversations. DMs, comments, reactions — the kind of feed musicians actually want.
The Pocket unlocks the moment your audition is approved. Every other tab — Members, Sessions, Crews, Gear, Store — is wired to the same identity.
