Chicago · Free · All-ages
We're building free, all-ages community singalongs in Chicago. You request the songs; we all sing them. No stage, no tickets, no experience needed.
Our song leader, Brandon Pfeiffer, is a lifelong musician who has hosted a number of singalongs — in living rooms, on roof decks, in a storefront, and in a packed theater.
There’s no audience at these — just a song leader with a guitar, lyrics in everyone’s hands, and a room singing songs it half-knows. Nothing to be good at, because nobody is watching. Everybody is singing.
The tool we built
freebird.fm is the song-request and tipping tool we built for performers: guests scan a QR code, pick a song, and it lands in the performer’s queue — no app store, no account. A beta build ran the request line at a couple of our own gatherings, and we’re folding the singalong features into it now.

Come to one — bring whoever you’d bring. Or help get one off the ground: host an event, sponsor one, or lend a hand.
