Friendsgiving Musician Gear Swap!
Trade gear. Meet musicians. Keep the music going.

Bring your gently used instruments, music gear, and accessories to the ATXM Friendsgiving Musician Gear Swap on Sunday, November 8! From pedals and cords to microphones, mic stands, cases, and more, something you no longer need could be just what another musician is looking for.

Swap with fellow Austin musicians, discover something new-to-you, and connect over the tools that help you make music. Power and an amp will be available for testing.

For musicians • Trades only—no sales
