Music scene · Orono

Orono is a college town home to the University of Maine, where music benefits from a steady stream of students and campus events. Indie, folk, and acoustic acts play at small local spots, while school and community programs round out the calendar.

Music happens at campus venues, local bars and cafes, church fellowship halls, and town park events. Bangor musicians often cross the river for college crowds and collaborative shows.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Bangor and University of Maine scene occasionally passing through.

Tap into the university music department, campus radio, and student-run events. Play at campus open mics and local cafes, and connect with the Bangor music community for off-campus gigs and festivals.
