local bands
Town's own groups
Local bands are musical groups based in and primarily performing within a particular geographic area, typically a city or region.
The term usually implies amateur or semi-professional status—bands playing bars, clubs, and small venues rather than touring nationally: The local bands opening tonight are actually pretty good.
Supporting local bands is often framed as community participation.
