Guest post by Bobby Owsinski of Music 3.0When artists and bands think of “music cities” the ones that immediately come to mind are the big 5 – New York City, Los Angeles, Nashville, Seattle and Austin. There are other cities that have great scenes that don’t come immediately to mind though. Firefly put together a list of 10 and ranked them, although I’m not so sure how the ranking came about.
