live music community
Teaching The Youth Of Our Local Scene Live Music Community opened in 2014 with the simple concept of helping local musicians achieve their musical goals. This first began with lessons and a place for musicians to gather, jam, and form bands. Over the years, it also grew into a recording studio. And in 2020, LMC expanded into livestreaming to give bands a venue during the pandemic.​ By 2024, LMC had built a unique creative environment where musicians of any age could come to achieve their musical goals.
long live the scene
Giving Opportunities To Our Local Scene Founder, Ricky Bolufe describes Long Live The Scene as a mission to support the music scene. No matter how, no matter where. Long Live The Scene is a grassroots effort to elevate local musicians. It gives them a website platform to blog, hosts events, books bands, releases compilation live albums, and much more!
In 2025, Live Music Community, Long Live The Scene, and 561 Music Podcast united under the 561 Music moniker. By doing this, we've created a very strong force that aims to provide opportunities to musicians of all ages in the local scene. It's our hope that local musicians will see our studio as a home and our staff as their music family. Below are reviews for Live Music Community over the last 10 years. Everything they loved about LMC is now bigger & better thanks to our combined efforts and our supporters. Welcome to YOUR music scene!
