I wouldn't know any in the US, but here in Toronto the indie scene is booming. Same with jazz and classical.

Why do you think that those cities are not good for music careers? Music is the thing, which is loved by the world equally, no matter where you go.

If LA is too far then he's not going to Portland.

Head to Austin or go to NYC. specifically brooklyn area

Austin, TX would be my first choice. I've been there several times over the years, and the amount of musical diversity and talent in that city is quite remarkable.
New York City & Chicago are a couple of other cities with a vibrant music scene. I've been to both cities on numerous occasions, and have also been impressed by the musical variety I've seen there.

Music is not loved equally everywhere. Certain sities have a far larger music scene than others. Their is a reason is you want a music job you go to New York/LA/Nashville and a select other few big cities.

It still is I dont know what OP is talking about. I lived there for 3 years and almost moved back instead of coming to Florida. Lots of music schools, and it has lots of different music scenes playing and recording there.

Atlantis. Bit of a flooding problem, but just about all the houses have an amazing view of the ocean.

You got that right. Aside from the major acts constantly coming through, I've got loads of friends in unknown bands that, aside from the millions of dollars worth of equipment to help them sound better, are just as if not better than the big dollar tickets.

Plus we got Buddy Guy.

I just saw Buddy again last weekend on a triple bill with Quinn Sullivan & George Thorogood. 77 years old, and he still sounds as amazing as ever!

Wow, great answers. The majority seem to be infavor of Texas.

But here's my theory. If you pick a city that is known for its large music scene, where there are so many people there trying to do the same thing. You will just be another artist in a town full of artists. Big music cities are both strict and jaded when it comes to music. They've seen and heard so much that it takes alot to impress them. But if you choose a city where the music scene is more humble, and not so much known for its music, you might stand a higher chance of being noticed because there aren't a billion musicians there, and you might draw more attention because you will be more "new" and "fresh" to them. Does that make sense?

Correct me of I'm wrong.
