Music scene · Buena Vista

Buena Vista is a small Shenandoah Valley city with a college-town feel, where school and university ensembles, church choirs, and outdoor concert series provide most of the music. Lexington and Roanoke area musicians often drive over for small gigs.

Look for music at the college chapel and auditorium, local churches, the high school auditorium, and city park pavilions. Downtown restaurants occasionally host acoustic evenings.

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

Students and residents should join college or school music groups, attend local coffeehouse acoustic nights, and connect with Roanoke and Lexington musicians for collaboration.
