New research on why live music is incredibly good for your wellbeing 💙
Recent research into collective effervescence; that incredible feeling of connection we experience when sharing music with others shows that singing, clapping, dancing and simply being present in a room full of people enjoying live music can have lasting positive effects on our mental health and sense of belonging.
It’s more than entertainment.
✨ It reduces feelings of loneliness.
✨ It strengthens social connection.
✨ It boosts positive emotions that can stay with us long after the night is over.
✨ It reminds us we’re part of something bigger than ourselves.
That’s exactly what Tune-In Open Mic is all about.
Whether you’re stepping up to the mic, playing alongside someone you’ve just met, or simply soaking it all in with a drink in hand, you’re helping create something special, a room where music brings strangers together and everyone belongs.
So if you’ve been needing a lift, come and share an evening of songs, stories, laughter and connection.
