Quick Links

Perhaps fitting for a city with "Sound" in its very name, the live music scene in Owen Sound is thriving. The musical community here - both in talent and in appreciation - has always punched above its weight, but in recent years an explosion of young talent, new venues, and festivals and events drawing large audiences is resulting in a vibrancy one would have trouble finding even in the biggest cities.

Whether you like jazz, classical, folk, blues, rock, country, traditional, alternative, or experimental, independent or major artists, you will find it in Owen Sound or nearby. You can also join in! Traditional music sessions, open mic nights, songwriters' circles, and jam nights are all part of the mix here.
