In Iona, live music finds a home in the high school auditorium, community center, and church fellowship halls. Local bars and restaurants book occasional solo acts, and the county fairgrounds or American Legion hall hold community events that draw Fort Myers musicians.

Notable acts here are generally local players and regional touring musicians; the nearby Fort Myers market sends occasional performers through town.

Artists in Iona can start at the high school auditorium, local festivals, and restaurant acoustic sets. Joining community ensembles and driving to Fort Myers for open mics and booking contacts is the usual route for committed players.
