Music scene · Kennett

Kennett serves as a small hub in the Missouri Bootheel, with school bands, church choirs, and country acts forming the core of local music. Performers from the Jonesboro, Arkansas area sometimes cross the state line for events.

Concerts and dances take place at the high school auditorium, church fellowship halls, the community center, and local bars and restaurants. County fair talent shows also provide stage time for local acts.

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

Get involved with the school music program, join a church worship team, or ask at local restaurants about acoustic nights. For a wider circuit, Jonesboro and Memphis are the closest markets.
