Music scene · Troy

Troy is a small Missouri city northwest of St. Louis where school marching bands, church choirs, and country cover bands at local bars keep music active. The county fair and summer park concerts bring in regional acts.

The Troy High School auditorium, community center, church fellowship halls, and local bars/restaurants host a majority of performances. The fairgrounds and park pavilions handle larger outdoor community events.

Local and regional artists perform in Troy, with musicians from the nearby St. Louis scene occasionally passing through.

Newcomers should look for open-mic nights at local bars, join the school band, or volunteer with church musicians. Regular paid gigs usually mean driving into the St. Louis area while building local relationships.
