Music scene · Princeton

Princeton, Minnesota, is a small town north of the Twin Cities where music includes school bands, church choirs, and country or classic-rock cover acts at local bars. Minneapolis-St. Paul musicians occasionally drive up.

The high school auditorium, churches, and county fairgrounds are the main venues. A handful of downtown bars and restaurants host acoustic musicians. For dedicated concert venues, residents travel to the Twin Cities.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Minneapolis-St. Paul scene occasionally passing through.

Aspiring musicians should join the school band or a church choir, attend fair and festival performances, and ask about acoustic nights. The Twin Cities offer more frequent opportunities.
