Music scene · Farmington

In Farmington, music grows out of daily life. As a eastern Missouri mining-country town with a small college, the town hears country and classic rock at school concerts, church services, and county events. Performers from St. Louis sometimes make the trip.

Live music in Farmington happens at the local bar, community college venue, and church hall. None are large rooms, but they handle school performances, worship music, local cover acts, and occasional regional bands.

Performers in Farmington are usually local or from the surrounding region, though players connected to the St. Louis scene sometimes stop by.

Getting started means attending school concerts, asking at the community center about open mics, and meeting players in local church groups. Aspiring performers should also look for gigs in the St. Louis area.
