Music scene · Hudson

Hudson sits on the St. Croix River across from Minnesota and has a music scene built around small downtown venues, church choirs, and school ensembles. The Twin Cities metro area heavily influences local tastes and supplies working musicians.

Downtown Hudson bars and restaurants, the community center, local wineries and breweries, and riverfront parks host live music. Larger events may move to nearby St. Croix County fairgrounds.

St. Croix River valley and regional artists perform here, with Minneapolis-St. Paul musicians frequently crossing the bridge for small-town gigs.

Play acoustic sets at downtown eateries and winery events, and use the community center bulletin board to find open mics. The Twin Cities are just across the river for bigger bookings.
