Music scene · Becker

Becker, Minnesota, is a small town northwest of the Twin Cities where music includes school bands, church choirs, and acoustic folk or country acts at local bars. Minneapolis-St. Paul musicians occasionally play here.

The high school auditorium, churches, and a handful of local restaurants or bars host most live music. Park pavilions may be used for summer events. For dedicated concert venues, residents travel to the Twin Cities.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Minneapolis-St. Paul area occasionally driving up for small events.

New musicians should connect with the school music program, join a church ensemble, and look for open mic nights. Those seeking regular paid gigs usually drive to Minneapolis or St. Paul.
