HEre's something I did - I started a muscian's networking group in town. I was lucky enough to be able to partner with a guy who is well known in town, so that helped a lot, but i undoubtedly met lots of local folks running the gamut of styles there.
I've since let it fall by the wayside but am definitely going to start that up again. I promoted through CL, FB on local groups, you could do Meetup, Reddit, that kind of thing.
If you get people showing up and get them involved in the group, it could be self-sustaining.
You could also see if there is already something like that local to you?
I've also gone the CL route, and yeah, you're gonna get weirdos and just folks that don't work out, but you gotta wade through the bullshit to find the "right" folks. Just like life!
