Nashville, New Orleans, New York and Several Unexpected Cities Make the Top 20

NEW YORK, May 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Travel magazine Fifty Grande has announced its first-ever music special feature, which includes a comprehensive ranking of America’s top live music cities and an in-depth look at several cities’ rising music scenes. The magazine’s readers have spoken, and in a recent survey named Nashville the number one live music city in the nation, followed by New Orleans, New York, Austin and Los Angeles. Several other cities that made the list may surprise some, including Asheville, NC and Columbus, OH.
