  8. Music “Scene” Defined • A music scene is “the context in which clusters of producers, musicians, and fans collectively share their common musical tastes and collectively distinguish themselves from others” through “modes of organizing cultural production and consumption…” Richard Florida. 2009

  9. What’s happening elsewhere? • The rise of the “entertainment city”; where opportunities for consumption of unique artistic and cultural goods becomes increasingly important.” Lloyd and Clark 2001

  10. Musical Mapquest? • “Live music is highly distance sensitive which means that producer and consumer need to meet in the same place for production and consumption to take place. This implies that the market place needs to be big enough to provide a sufficient number of meeting places.”Richard Florida 2009

  15. If you build it they will come • “While larger, incumbent regional centers clearly have had scale and scope advantages in music production and commercial distribution, they have suffered from inertia and inability to respond to new genres and sounds. This has intermittently enabled smaller locations with a constellation of talent and commercial interests willing to embrace new forms to gain a strategic advantage. “ Martin Prosperity Institute. University of Toronto. 2008.
