Music scene · Maiden

Maiden is a small Catawba County town where music centers on school bands, church choirs, and local country and rock cover bands. Hickory and Charlotte-area musicians sometimes drive in for small gigs and private events.

Live music can be found at church fellowship halls, the high school auditorium, local bars and restaurants, and community event rooms. Outdoor summer events move to a park pavilion.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Hickory and Charlotte scene occasionally passing through.

Aspiring players can join school ensembles, sing in church choirs, ask local restaurants about acoustic nights, and drive to Hickory or Charlotte for more regular gigs and open mics.
