Music scene · Bellmore

Bellmore, a Long Island hamlet, supports school bands, church choirs, and cover acts at local bars. New York City musicians sometimes travel east for suburban gigs and private events.

Venues include the high school auditorium, church fellowship halls, community centers, and local bars or restaurants. The American Legion hall hosts occasional acoustic nights.

Local and regional artists perform in this Long Island hamlet, with musicians from the nearby New York City scene occasionally passing through.

Players can join school ensembles, check community center calendars for open mics, and take the train into New York City for bigger open mics and regular bookings.
