What city or area has lots of bars/events with live music?

Chicago for the dozens of blues and jazz venues.

Austin bills itself as the Live Music Capital of the World, though many of the venues are being demolished to build office buildings.

LA as epicenter of the music industry has dozens of live music venues.

It would help alot if you were more specific. Every city has "something to do" after 5pm on a weekday. Even if its going to the Applebee's bar with your high school sweetheart. Every large city will be able to accommodate this but you need to be more specific with what exactly you want and where you come from so you can have better answers. Most people will suggest their city or the largest cities.

I hope you don't live in Chicago and think there's nothing to do on weekday nights. Only New York could satisfy that urge.

Live music? I could have missed this in DC but while it does have good nightlife and clubs, It's not really a "live music" hub. I would put Nashville a dead of most of this list

I never pictured DC, as having a lot of music venues and bars. Maybe a few exist here and there, but I didn't think it had too many such bars. One option that some may overlook as having a bunch of such music bars, is Key West. Where there are numerous such bars, close to Duval Street.

And a few posts back, myself and annie touched on a few good such cities. Like the poster annie was saying, Montreal would be good if you don't mind that's in Canada. Though I could see some others also possibly being good for music, I.e. Las Vegas, Miami, and Memphis. From Memphis one could do a side trip to the town of Clarksdale, Mississippi for its blues bars, if they wanted to.

That's sad, if increasingly more of the long time music venues in Austin are being demolished. And weird I nearly forgot to mention LA, since historically that city had a lot of music venues. Hopefully that's still the case, today.
