Music scene · McComb

McComb, Mississippi, is a small railroad and timber town not far from New Orleans. Its music includes church gospel groups, school marching bands, and blues and country players at local bars. New Orleans musicians occasionally pass through on their way north.

Venues include local bars and restaurants, church fellowship halls, the high school auditorium, and the American Legion hall. Community events and county fair talent shows add a few annual performance slots.

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

Aspiring players should join school ensembles, sit in at local bar jams, and connect with church choirs. Driving south to New Orleans remains the best way to find regular paying gigs and broader audiences.
