You’ve just spent the day exploring the many beautiful outdoor offerings around the Klamath Basin region. Crater Lake was stunning! The Lava Beds National Monument was otherworldly! Hiking and kayaking treated you to indelible panoramic vistas. However, it’s late afternoon / early evening, you’re heading back into town, and thinking, “what’s next?” LIVE MUSIC is the answer!
Whether you’re looking for the shade of a garden-style summer patio, line-dancing in a country bar, a place to unwind with the family, or an opportunity to perform yourself and connect with local musicians and audiences, Klamath has a quickly growing music scene with something for almost everyone.
WEEKLY MUSIC CALENDAR
The local music community is always abuzz with activity. New shows are being booked and announced on a near daily basis. Far from limited to “folk” music, the Klamath Falls Folk Music Society is a musician run Facebook page helping get the word out about area performances across many genres. The group posts a weekly schedule on Sunday mornings listing the week’s upcoming show options.
