Music scene · Bensley

Bensley is a Chesterfield County community just south of Richmond, with a mix of suburban neighborhoods and commercial corridors. School bands, church choirs, and cover bands at local bars keep the music modest but steady. Richmond-area musicians often drive south for gigs.

Music appears at local bars and restaurants, church fellowship halls, the high school auditorium, and the community center. Park pavilions host summer events. Larger venues are in Richmond.

Local and regional artists perform in Bensley, while musicians from the nearby Richmond scene occasionally pass through.

Get involved in school ensembles, church music programs, and local restaurant open mics. For steady work, Richmond is the nearest major scene. Meeting other players at these events is the fastest way to find opportunities.
