Music scene · Corning

Corning is an agricultural city in Tehama County where music fits around farming life. School bands, church choirs, and country and Tejano acts at local events are the norm, while musicians from the Redding area pass through on weekends.

The high school auditorium, community center, and a local bar or restaurant are the usual places for live music. County fair events and church programs also provide occasional stages.

Corning has no roster of famous natives. Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Redding scene occasionally passing through.

Beginners can join the school music program, ask at the community center about seasonal events, or connect with church musicians. Driving to Redding is necessary for a wider range of venues.
