If you are a musician, artist, band, entertainer, or in any way involved in the music industry and want to create a better online presence, then I have good news for you. In today’s article, I have searched high and low to find the best free WordPress music themes.

Although there are plenty of WordPress themes providers with premium WordPress themes to choose from, I have decided only to highlight free themes in today’s article.

Don’t we all like music? Today it is so straightforward to reach and access all kinds of music by listening to it through streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, but also other online services. Just hit play on your phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop, and get access to millions of songs directly.

When I work at my computer, I always have music thundering from my speakers. Some prefer a quiet and calm environment to be able to concentrate. I’m the opposite; I need loud music to be able to work effectively. (presumably one of the reasons I work best alone) Preferably hard rock and heavy metal roaring in my office.

As a musician or artist, visibility is one of the most significant factors, and having an engaging website is essential. Another factor is to rank high in the search engine search results, which can be made possible with a little help from SEO and, of course, well-optimized WordPress themes.

So let’s get started…

These WordPress music themes in today’s article can be great alternatives for you to get started. (They are free and wallet-friendly); however, there is the option to upgrade to pro versions of most themes in the list if you need more features and support.

Grab any of the WordPress music themes and promote your work. Kick your music website into full swing, shout it out from the rooftops and promote it everywhere to get your fans to find your excellent site.
