THE MUSIC BOX SERIES

The Empire’s Music Box, presented by Rydell GMC, is a monthly, all ages event featuring local and regional musicians of any genre and style. Each month, multiple performers and/or groups take the stage in the Empire’s Studio E black box venue and each share a 30-40 minute set. Each monthly Music Box starts with an open stage for performers and audience members alike - this open jam is open to all ages and skill levels, and it’s a great place to meet other local musicians and performers and make some music!

Whether you’ve been a working musician for years or have never set foot on stage, if you want to perform or participate in any way, please contact Matthew Fowler at mattf@empireartscenter.com or 701-746-5500. Come play with us!
