rockstar232007 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 You said a mouthful' date=' brotha. Ann Arbor is a pathetic, shriveled up, not-even-a-shadow-of-what-it-used-to-be. There is virtually no remnant of any heritage of its onetime status as a center of rock and roll. Detroit, at least, still has a live music scene with a handful of cool venues.[/quote']I just wish I would have been born in the '70s, when the terms "Detroit Rock City" and "Motown" actually meant something!

Daryl M Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Growing up in West Tennessee, the biggest local band was "Tennessee River Crooks," or "T R Crooks" as everyone called them. All through the 1970s, it seemed like they were just about to 'go large'. I remember hearing all kinds of stories, but I don't remember what really happened to them.

Jon S. Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I grew up in Murfreesboro, TN(a few miles down the road from Nashville). We had "Spongebath Records" back in the 90's. The label had a handful of alt-rock bands that went on to do good things(Self, The Features, The Katies). Rolling Stone labeled Mboro "Little Seattle" back in the day. We also have Roland Gresham. He's a great jazz player. Supposedly he gave a guy named James Hendricks a couple of lessons back in the 60's... Plus.. much more importantly.... we have the WORLD'S LARGEST CEDAR BUCKET!!!!

pohatu771 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Lou Gramm started out here before he joined Foreigner... We also have Chuck Mangione, Brann Dailor from Mastodon, Gym Class Heroes, Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth, Steve Gadd, and Son House (temporarily). There was actually a tribute to Son House a few weeks ago that I wanted to, but couldn't, go to. Wikipedia also lists Ace Frehley, but I read his article and see no mention of him even knowing where Rochester is. There are a lot of jazz musicians, of course.

DeVeeWee Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Nice thread ... this one hasn't made it to the States but was a huge hit all over Europe, from my local milk man! ('80's era or do you still have that haircut?) [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Dizzy Gillespie was from Cheraw, SC, John Coltrane was from Hamlet, NC (about 15 miles apart), and Thelonius Monk was from Rocky Mount, NC (just about a third of a state away). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 From my home-town, Falkirk (a small place in the middle of Scotland), came these guys; [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwvqUeosajs[/YOUTUBE] Nowadays I live in London so, just to make things more local, I'll choose someone who came from just along the road a mile or so; [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v--IqqusnNQ[/YOUTUBE] Slight difference in their respective levels of 'Fame' attained, of course.
