anaxcrosswords Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 The jetlag is slowly wearing off now, but I just returned from 3 weeks in the Okanagan region of Canada, staying in the little town of Vernon. For its size it has an amazingly vibrant live music scene with enthusiastic audiences, so much so that I see myself moving there (I was born in Canada so it’s pretty much a walk-in, plus my job allows me to work anywhere without having to find new contracts – I can keep all of my existing UK work). Have you visited places whose music scene has made you want to up sticks and emigrate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtcat Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 This is actually quite a hard question. Many of the places I've been to are seasonal and I don't really ever want to live in a big city which is where the best music scenes usually run yr round. I was living in a town called Breckenridge in Colorado for a while (2004-2007) as a snowboard instructor and formed a local band for the winters of 2005-2006 and 2006-2007. We did funk / rock covers and would play in any of the 5-6 towns within a 25mile radius. The music scene was so good we could have played 4-5 nights a week but had to be careful as we had visa limitations (two of us were on H2B visas) but still managed at least 2 gigs a week in very lively places. There were some brilliant bands out there too. So I guess if it weren't for the fact I could never get a visa to live there then that would be my choice as it was also an amazing place to live and snowboard.
