Music scene · Laurel

Laurel has a small-town Mississippi musical character rooted in gospel, country, school bands, and community theater. Hattiesburg and Meridian musicians sometimes stop in for local festivals and civic events.

Look for performances at the high school auditorium, community theater, church fellowship halls, county fairgrounds, and downtown restaurants in this small Mississippi city.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Hattiesburg and Meridian scenes occasionally passing through.

Join school band or a church choir, audition for community theater productions, and drive southeast to Hattiesburg for open mics and larger regional gigs.
