Concerts at The Collective

On Friday the 20th, The Collective is hosting a local artist spotlight to highlight the amazing talents of two Columbia musicians: Madisun Bailey and Luke Borchelt. Spend an evening with these two talented artists shaking up the local scene! Tickets are only $10! Get yours here.
Then, on Saturday the 21st, come to The Collective to hear two world-class Nola bands share a night of unforgettable music. From the deep roots tag team of Cajun slide guitar phenom Sonny Landreth and legendary New Orleans Latin-Americana rockers, the Iguanas comes a mind-blowing musical trip through the scenic soundscape of the bayou. Still wet from crawling out of the swamps, this cross-pollinated confection will be both savory and sweet. Louisiana’s calling—here’s your chance to answer. Purchase tickets for this event here.
