Music scene · Perry

Perry is a small central Iowa town with a meatpacking and railroad history. Local music consists of school bands, church choirs, country cover acts at bars, and community gatherings.

The high school auditorium, American Legion hall, county fairgrounds, and a handful of local bars host performances. Des Moines is the nearest city with a broader live music circuit.

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

Musicians should join school music programs, play at county fair events, and connect with the Des Moines scene. Local bars may host country and acoustic acts.
