local band

Area's own group

A local band is a musical group whose following and performances are confined to a particular city or region rather than having national or international reach.

The term often implies amateur or semi-professional status, though without judgment—many successful acts started as local bands.

We caught a local band at the bar last night.

The festival featured several local bands alongside the headliners.
