Music scene · Bohemia

Bohemia is a Long Island hamlet where school bands, church choirs, and local restaurant sets account for most live music. New York City musicians sometimes travel east for suburban gigs and private celebrations.

In Bohemia, live music happens at church fellowship halls, school auditoriums, local bars and restaurants, and community gatherings. New York City and Long Island offer larger venues and more frequent shows.

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

Aspiring musicians in Bohemia can join school ensembles, perform at local restaurants, and take the train or drive into New York City for open mics and more competitive gigs as they advance.
