Beet


It's what's growing in Columbia's underground!

ATTENTION ALL BANDS AND FUTURE FRIENDS!!!
We are NOT a band. Rather, we are a portal for any and all bands from Columbia, South Carolina. The Beet is also a great resource for bands that are planning on, or would like to play a show in Columbia.
In general The Beet is a webzine that seeks to cast a spotlight on what we consider to be a thriving and vibrant music scene here in Columbia.
With that said, we ..do not.. book shows. We receive multiple requests for this, but we exist simply to showcase bands that play in Columbia.
If you'd like to book a show in Columbia, please look under the Music Venues section below, or contact one or more of our town's amazing bands. They are always looking to network, and are friendly to boot. Thanks!
If you would like to get in touch with The Beet via external email or join our mailing list then click this link [email protected]
