The Society of American Travel Writers has named Chicago the number five city in North America for live music behind New Orleans, New York, Austin, and Nashville. We're followed by Memphis, Montreal, Las Vegas, Branson (, Missouri), and Denver.
Having only been to Chicago I can't say anything about any of those other cities, but it doesn't seem that off base, at least in the top seven. Funny how no west coast cities made the list, although a general "music scene" is probably different from an "indie scene," at least to the Society of American Travel Writers. No Seattle, no San Francisco...hm. Curious omissions, I think, but that's just me.
Still though, hey Chicago!
