Music scene · Woodmere

Woodmere is an unincorporated Jefferson Parish community where music means school bands, church gospel choirs, and local bar performances. Musicians from the New Orleans area sometimes drive over for modest community events.

In Woodmere, musicians play the community center, local bar and restaurant spaces, church fellowship halls, and school auditoriums. The American Legion hall holds small concerts, and the parish fairgrounds host seasonal gatherings.

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

Getting started in Woodmere means checking the community center bulletin board, joining the school music program, and connecting with church musicians. A drive to New Orleans offers access to bigger rooms while the local base grows.
