Local music is one of the things that makes Bloomington such a great place. Being a blue city in a primarily red state, you find funky people from all over Indiana, or even the entire Midwest region, or as I see it as; young talent. Many of the local musicians find their way to either Nashville, Tenn. or Chicago as they look to continue their career as a musician.
