Music scene · Parkwood

Parkwood, WA, is a small Kitsap County community where music grows from school bands, church choirs, and bar acoustic nights at local bars. Naval and commuter character brings players from across Puget Sound. Musicians from the Bremerton-Seattle area often drive across the sound for small gigs.

In Parkwood, live music happens at local bar and restaurant patios, the community center, church fellowship halls, the high school auditorium, and park pavilions. Rooms are small and community-focused. Touring concerts remain in Bremerton-Seattle.

No famous artists are from Parkwood; local and regional players perform here, while Bremerton-Seattle musicians sometimes stop by.
