We are home to "South Main Sounds Songwriter Nights" where we host musicians who play only their original music. Sometimes it's a local artist, sometimes it's someone who has written hits for other people or had a hit themselves. We have had people play from over 35 states, the UK, Italy, Canada and Australia. We also sell T-Shirts, Vinyl Records, local CDs, artwork and our soon to be famous Koozies. We'll always post our schedule right here. Look for some high-profile ticketed events coming in 2022!
This will be something new for us, a limited seating house concert featuring The Raelyn Nelson Band! yes, she has a very famous Grandfather but Raelyn and her band do it their way and are so fun to watch. Tickets will be $20 and will include RNB merchandise to be announced. We will only have 45-50 seats and will likely go quickly. Ticketing information to follow.
