Local music. It's where musicians get their start. It's also part of the culture of a community. Plus increasingly it can be an economic driver. LA, NYC, and Nashville have long been music towns, but Austin showed that you don't have to be a town of major labels and industry insiders to have an impact.
There is a convergence of trends (i.e., the rise of independent labels, the focus on live music as a way to exploit the unpaid sharing of recorded music, mobile devices and online social networks promoting location-based activities, community branding to encourage tourism) that is generating an interest in local music scenes.
Noise:Floor is a television and multi-platform series devoted to highlighting local music scenes around the country.
The purpose of this blog is to share information among people interested in promoting local music in their own communities.
