Music scene · Morganton

Morganton's musical identity blends mountain folk, bluegrass, and church music with school band and community theater programs. Asheville and Hickory musicians sometimes stop in for intimate performances.

Gigs can be found at the community center, local churches, the high school auditorium, downtown restaurants, and outdoor park events around the historic square.

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

Attend local jam sessions and open mics, connect with the community theater group for pit band work, and travel to Asheville for a wider range of venues.
