The blog Music Machinery has posted a list of American cities based on how musical they are. Paul Lamere figured out the hometowns of 50,000 top U.S. musicians and sorted out how many came from each city. Then he figured out the ratio of musicians to 1000 people in that town.
Here’s the complete, very long, list.
Beverly Hills, California (of all places!) came in first. San Francisco was number two. Nashville took the third spot.
