Music scene · Dundee

Dundee is a small town in Polk County between Winter Haven and Lake Wales. Citrus groves and light industry shape the local economy, and music has largely come from school bands, church groups, and community events at the fairgrounds.

Live music turns up at the community center, local bar and restaurant patios, church fellowship halls, and the county fairgrounds during seasonal events. Most working musicians drive toward Lakeland or Orlando for steady gigs.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Orlando and Lakeland scene occasionally passing through.

New performers should check the community center bulletin board, join the high school music program, and try open mic nights in Winter Haven or Lakeland. Building a local following first makes the drive to Orlando easier.
