Meridian Underground Music

2220 8th St, Meridian, MS 39301

Here at Loud South, we appreciate a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to music. And Meridian Underground Music is the perfect place if that’s what you’re looking for. Nestled in a white brick store front featuring a gorgeous painted lady of blue and red lays this music store that has been downtown Meridian, Mississippi since 1996. Meridian Underground Music (MUM) sells new and used vinyl records, CD’s and DVD’s in a variety of genres. The store also sells instruments and stage equipment such as fog machines, black lights, DJ equipment and more. Not only has MUM brought music products to the small town of Meridian, they also are a pillar of the music community. From open mics to supporting small bands by letting them play at their store, Meridian Underground Music’s mission is to uplift small artists. And since that is also Loud South’s mission statement, that makes us love Meridian Underground Music even more. And if you’re not in a band, no worries! Stop by the store to play pool, eat some popcorn, and just shoot the shit. But don’t forget to check out the vinyls and electric guitars!

Looking for a spooky, in the woods venue to check out this October? Go check out The Alter! The Alter, created by artist Young Dellena (Nikko Dellena), came to be in 2019. Located in Borden Springs, Alabama, he and a former partner got together to build this venue in the woods on family property. By scouring for scrap wood/metal and constantly searching marketplace they gathered the materials to hand make a space for artists to come together. October of 2019 is when they held their first show, and from there grew popularity by touring Georgia and spreading the word about The Alter. People then started to contact Dellena about booking, so he made the decision to get an LLC and begin taking musicians. He not only created a space for music that didn’t fit in bars or restaurants, but created a safe space for musicians of all types! Dellena heavily expresses the main goal of The Alter is the “freedom to express; freedom to experience; freedom to just live”. Love and acceptance is what this small Alabamian venue has to give and Loud South loves it!
