Your Source for Live Music in Hamilton County Indiana
Introducing the HamCo Live Homegrown Music Concert Series
Hamilton County, Indiana, has a thriving music scene, and HamCo Live is here to amplify it! The Homegrown Music Concert Series is a brand-new initiative dedicated to showcasing the best original artists from Noblesville, Fishers, Carmel, Westfield, and Central Indiana. This free concert series brings together talented local musicians, vibrant venues, and passionate music lovers to cultivate a culture of live, original music right here in Hamilton County.
What is the Homegrown Music Concert Series?
The Homegrown Music Concert Series is a curated live music experience featuring three Hoosier original artists at select venues across Hamilton County. Each artist performs a 45-75 minute set, delivering high-quality, original Hoosier music to audiences hungry for something fresh and authentic. Our goal is to nurture a local music ecosystem, providing a platform for artists to build their fan base while supporting bars, breweries, and venues that believe in the power of live music.
Why Hamilton County?
Hamilton County is home to some of Indiana’s most iconic music venues, including Ruoff Music Center, The Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts, and numerous amphitheaters in Noblesville, Fishers, Carmel, and Westfield. With the addition of the Fishers Event Center and a new Noblesville event venue on the horizon, our county is primed to become a Midwest music destination.
The Homegrown Music Concert Series aligns with this vision by strengthening the foundation: our local artists and intimate music venues. By fostering a grassroots music movement, we’re laying the groundwork for Hamilton County to be recognized nationally as a live music hub.
