Band advice needed

For eight years, I traveled weekly an hour each way to Columbus to curl (you know, the rocks and brooms game). For a couple of those years it was twice a week. This was driving though all the crap weather of the year from October to May, sometimes through rush hour traffic. This was to spend money, not make it. If you really love something, this is what you do if there aren't other options.

There's no right answer for the OP. He just needs to weigh the positives against the big negative here.

I use to live on the shore when I was very young hence how I also know. Unsure of the music scene though, but when I lived there it was very rural area of the state lol!

I think the NY thing depends, out here in LI it can be quiet but it is shocking how much musical stuff is available here, maybe we are super dense living wise, there is a whole punk scene going on here and it is vibrant, upstate areas yeah they can be dry, NYC obv is a whole new world of music but can be a rough scene to get into depending on the genre.
Depends by what you mean by "upstate" but the upper and lower Hudson Valley has a pretty good cover band scene. A lot of bars/clubs in the river towns that do well with cover bands,
