Music scene · Evanston

Evanston is a railroad and energy town in southwest Wyoming where music centers on school marching bands, church choirs, and local bar acts. Musicians from the Salt Lake City area occasionally drive up for weekend gigs.

Venues in Evanston include the high school auditorium, community center, church fellowship halls, and a handful of local bars. The American Legion hall books country and gospel acts, and the county fairgrounds host summer performances.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Salt Lake City scene occasionally passing through.

Musicians starting out in Evanston can join the school band, ask local bars about acoustic slots, and volunteer for church or American Legion events. Regular trips to Salt Lake City help expand opportunities beyond town.
