The Independent Music Collective (IMC) is a student organization at the University of South Alabama that works together with USA faculty, staff, alumni, and members of the broader community in an effort to enrich Mobile's music scene.

Founded in 2009, the IMC sponsors a listening-room concert series that features roots musicians and Americana acts. As it is our goal to augment the local scene, we strive to book national performers who otherwise might not play in Mobile. Over the past decade, the IMC’s concert series has become one of the premier listening-room stopovers in the Southeast. We've hosted numerous nationally acclaimed musicians, including Dan Bern, Malcolm Holcombe, Otis Gibbs, Richard Buckner, Will Johnson, Tim Easton, Eef Barzelay, Charlie Parr, Kevin Gordon, Scott H. Biram, Lydia Loveless, and Hurray for the Riff Raff.  

If you'd like to play for us, or want to suggest someone whom we should invite, please email us at musicinmobile@gmail.com.
