Music scene · Menominee

This Upper Peninsula city on the Menominee River has music tied to lumbering heritage, schools, churches, and regional gatherings. Country, polka, and classic rock cover bands play locally. Green Bay musicians sometimes cross from Wisconsin.

Concerts take place at the community center, high school auditorium, church fellowship halls, local restaurants and bars, and park pavilions. The county fairgrounds host seasonal performances. Larger venues are in Green Bay or Marinette, Wisconsin.

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

Musicians should join school bands, church choirs, or community ensembles. The county fair and community center are good places to ask about talent shows. Green Bay, Wisconsin, is the closest larger city for regular paid gigs.
