Who are we? We are a collective of music and visual art professionals, businesses, non-profit organizations, community leaders, and local music lovers, creating events that celebrate the things that connect us all.


What we do

The Oak City Music Collective connects local communities with professionally delivered, high quality, carefully curated artistic events and music festivals.

In collaboration with our partners, non-profit organizations, nationally and locally recognized talent, OCMC provides not only memorable music experiences but also aims to contribute to the unique culture that makes our communities great places to live in.

Our consulting programs help organizations + municipalities curate culturally competent events by supporting local talent + businesses.
