A July 27, 2006 article in The Oregonian on why Portland has a great music scene.
Reasons include:
* More than two dozen independent music stores, with loyal fans who use them as gathering spots.
* Lots of musicians. And a wealth of local clubs for them to play.
* A culture that supports entrepreneurs.
* Inexpensive housing.
* Several Portland-based international music distribution businesses, like CD Baby, that support independent artists.
Our own tune: "Singing, recording, selling, promoting . . . Portland's DIY ethic is creating an indie music capital"
