America is blessed with so many towns and cities that are world famous for music. Jazz, Blues, Country, Bluegrass, Gospel, Hip-Hop, and Rock N Roll were all born and bread right here in the United States. Whatever your musical taste, there is a destination city to accommodate you.
New Orleans
New Orleans is home to it’s own unique style of jazz as well as being a performing home to other indigenous Louisiana musical styles such as Cajun and Zydeco. The New Orleans brass bands perform on the street in the French Quarter such as Bourbon St., or Frenchman St. They are lively, spontaneous, funky, full of fun and cheeky lyrics. Nothing quite like a New Orleans street party y’all! Add to this the fact that the bars are open 24 hours a day, there’s a good chance the party will last as long as you do and probably longer! New Orleans is also home to two of the most respected music festivals in the world: New Orleans Jazzfest, and Voodoo Fest.
Austin, TX
Austin has been famous in the past for being the unofficial home of Outlaw Country and Texas Blues, now it’s moniker is “Live Music Capitol Of The World”. 6th St might be it’s most famous entertainment district, but South Congress is quickly gaining especially for the “already out of college” crowd. Austin features honky-tonks, discoteques, raves, pool halls, juke joints, as well as some of the world’s most famous music festivals: SXSW, and ACL.
Nashville, TN
The official home of Country music as well as the state capitol, Nashville is home to the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Nashville also hosts the Country Music Awards every year.
