Evansville offers a lot for music lovers โ more than just the big-name touring acts that pass through Downtown venues like the Ford Center, Victory Theatre, or Old National Events Plaza. Local talent is regularly showcased on indoor and outdoor stages throughout the city, and we have sounds for all tastes, including rock โnโ roll, hip-hop, smooth jazz, and country. Summer is the perfect time to get immersed in the music scene, as seasonal festivals, jam sessions, and concerts take center stage around Evansville, as well as farther afield in Henderson and Owensboro, Kentucky. This summer, get to know some musicians, settings, and events that make us tap our feet and sing along.
