HEY MUSIC LOVERS AND FELLOW EXPLORERS OF SOUND!


We are absolutely thrilled to welcome you to The Setlist, the online home and vibrant community extension of the upcoming The Setlist Magazine. If you're passionate about discovering new artists, diving deep into authentic musical stories, and celebrating the rich tapestry of sounds emerging from our very own backyard (and beyond) then you've found your new favorite spot.


What is The Setlist All About?


At its heart, The Setlist is dedicated to spotlighting rising music artists. The primary focus begins right here in Mississippi, a state with an unparalleled musical heritage that continues to birth incredible talent across every genre imaginable. From the soulful blues that echo through the Delta to the electrifying rock, hip-hop, country, and indie sounds shaping today's scene, Mississippi's contribution to music is undeniable. And while our roots are deep here, our vision will eventually expand to embrace compelling artists from other regions too.

We believe that great music deserves to be heard, and the artists behind it deserve to have their stories told. That's why The Setlist Magazine, launching soon, will be a digital, bi-monthly (every other month) publication, making high-quality music journalism accessible to everyone. The blog you're reading now is your sneak peek, your daily dose, and your interactive space to connect with the music and the community.
