Wet Whistle
At the peak of summer, Wet Whistle is the place to be for warm sunshine, cold drinks, and, of course, live music. Make a splash at Currents Seaside Entertainment and enjoy the full menu from Black Drum. With so many things to do, it’s no surprise that this is one of our favorite spots on the resort to catch some live tunes during the summer.
Myrtle Beach
House of Blues
Let’s say you’re looking to expand your horizons past the resort. We have just the places for you, starting with House of Blues, located at Barefoot Landing.
This rock and blues-themed restaurant offers live music on their deck frequently throughout the summer, and boasts an award-winning Gospel Brunch. If you’d like to incorporate a bit more drama into your vacation, their Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre might just be for you.

Their website says it best: ”If you can only see one show, make sure it’s at the Carolina Opry Theatre!”
The rich history of music in Myrtle Beach is etched into the very history of this establishment. Since 1986, it’s been a go-to spot for families to enjoy live music, as well as take in a full-rounded theatrical experience.

Alabama Theatre
Don’t let the name fool you—this North Myrtle Beach venue is all Carolina, with its roots strongly planted in the country music scene.. From tributes to variety shows, the Alabama Theatre tailors its offerings specifically to families seeking fun on vacation. Their show, ICONIC: Amplified for 2025, has been lauded as a must-see experience. If you’re coming in the winter, we strongly recommend The South’s Grandest Christmas Show. No matter the time of year, a trip to this venue should be on every family’s Myrtle Beach bucket list.
Festivals
Carolina Country Music Fest
Calling all country music lovers: the Carolina Country Music Festival will be taking place in June!
Since 2015, this country music festival has transformed Myrtle Beach into a four-day country music beach party each year in June. With major headliners such as Rascal Flatts, The Beach Boys, and Lainey Wilson, this music festival is a quintessential Myrtle Beach summer experience you can’t miss.
Myrtle Beach Jazz Festival
Say country music isn’t your jam—we get it. Thankfully, Myrtle Beach sees all kinds of music fests throughout the year, including the Myrtle Beach Jazz Festival.
This year, the free, three-day festival will take place from October 17 to 20. The weather may be cooling off at this point, but Carver Street will be heating up with some of the top names in the jazz genre.
As you can see, the musical variety here is endless—whether you prefer musical theatre, country music, jazz, or blues, whether you prefer to venture off the resort, or stay by the pool, if you want to sit down indoors or stand outdoors. The music scene in Myrtle Beach truly offers something for everyone.
After a day or night of enjoying all that music, come back to a comfortable spot at Kingston Resorts. Explore our special offers and find the accommodation that suits you best for your next musical vacation!
