Many musicians get their start at open mics, which are at the heart of many local music scenes. This is a very thorough article with a number of resources.
The article also quotes Sam Shaber, who I know because she performs in Colorado quite a bit. Now that she has relocated from NYC to LA, she's also performing with a number of Colorado ex-pats (like Matt Moon) who now live out there, plus other artists who do the circuit from LA to Colorado and back again (like Jay Nash).
Onstage article: "Open mic nights are a rich and often overlooked resource for musicians. You can gain performing experience, test new material, network with area musicians, find and audition for gigs, or all of the above. And contrary to popular belief, open mic nights are not just for beginners or acoustic-guitar-slinging singer-songwriters."
