Music scene · Franklin

Franklin is a small city along Bayou Teche where church choirs, high school bands, and local country and Cajun-influenced musicians set the pace. Weekend gatherings at bars and community halls often feature cover bands from the Lafayette and New Iberia area.

Expect live music at local bars and restaurants, church fellowship halls, the high school auditorium, and the civic center during festivals. The American Legion hall also hosts dances and community events.

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

Start by asking local venues about acoustic and cover band openings, join the school or church music groups, and connect with Lafayette area players who book dates along the bayou.
