Where in the world is the local music scene?
Recently when I wrote a story about a local band playing a New Year’s Eve event in Middletown, and he told me one reason this event happened was because there were no places in Middletown for local bands to play anymore, and most of them go to Cincinnati or Dayton.
And I wondered, is that really true? I know a number of places in Middletown where local bands played, like Barb’s Pub and Coconuts have closed, so there aren’t as many places as there used to be. But what about places outside Middletown, like Froggy Blues in Monroe or Mutt’s Brewery in Trenton?
And for that matter, what’s the scene like in the Hamilton area? I’m less familiar with the music scene there, having only started to cover that region recently.
I’m going to be writing a news story on this topic that will publish in February, but I thought I would use this blog as a place to start getting some comments and ideas. Is it true there are no places for local bands to play? If you want to see a local band play, where do you go?
