Music scene · Jonesboro

Jonesboro, a small north Louisiana town, has a music scene grounded in gospel choirs, school bands, and country acts at local bars and fairs. Monroe and Ruston musicians occasionally head south for small-town performances.

Venues include the high school auditorium, the community center, several church fellowship halls, a few local bars and restaurants, and the county fairgrounds during annual events.

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

Musicians should join school or church music programs, check fairground entertainment schedules, attend local open mics, and travel to Monroe or Ruston for bigger opportunities.
