That is not the case in Milwaukee outside of a few exception.

Milwaukee is a cover city.

Ah yes we had quite a few from here including a band that is on the Grammys this weekend for song/album of the year.

Yes, this gets back to the appeal and market for originals bands is regional.

The originals band scene is great in some areas and non-existent in others.

That's what a few of us have been saying all along.

The BL of the country band I mentioned previously celebrated 50 years of running his band. Yeah. Very established. Being the youngest guy, though, I realize he can't go on forever, and the band may or may not survive when he hangs it up.

It just must be me a few years ago I played in a country band that was going on for well over 20 years. In the nearly 2 years I was with them I never felt the band was established, we were just another local band.

Exactly, an established local band.
