Throughout the history of popular music, the careers of many
culturally significant artists and groups began on the small stages
of local bars clubs, pubs, and discotheques. When the stories of
The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and the New York punk hardcore and post
punk scenes are told, iconic venues such as The Cavern, The Marquee
and CBGB’s serve as the settings of their early chapters Small
live music venues such as these are pivotal in the narratives and
history of popular music. However, very few of them survive. This
book focusses on the role of small live music venues as incubators
for emerging talent and social hubs for music scene participants.
Such venues are grassroots spaces of cultural labor and production
that often struggle with issues of financial precarity yet are
fundamental to the live music ecology of a city, acting both as
platforms for emergent performers and spaces of sociality for local
music scenes.
