Music scene · Whitmore Lake

Music in Whitmore Lake follows the pace of a lakeside community on the Washtenaw-Livingston county line. Band programs, church services, and casual acoustic nights at local eateries form the core of live sound. Ann Arbor musicians occasionally round out bills.

The venue scene in Whitmore Lake is small and practical: a community center, church fellowship hall, high school auditorium, and a few local bars. Fairgrounds add outdoor space in season; Ann Arbor has full-scale rooms.

Local artists fill the local bills in Whitmore Lake, though musicians from the Ann Arbor scene occasionally make the drive to perform.

Getting started in Whitmore Lake means attending school concerts, volunteering for community theater, and asking at the American Legion hall or community center about open slots. Driving to Ann Arbor for open mics expands opportunities.
