You voted, we tallied, and now we celebrate. The winners of the inaugural Hometowns of Consequence search for the Best Local US Music Venues have been chosen!
As live music has long been part of the Consequence legacy, we wanted to honor the venues that give a platform and home to performing artists. In our quest for the best music halls, theaters, and clubs across the country, we asked fans to nominate the cultural gathering places in their communities. With four finalists chosen in each of our five Hometowns regions, we asked for a final vote to choose our winners.
We’re proud, excited, and honored to open the envelope and reveal our Hometowns of Consequence winners: Northeast — Rockwood Music Hall in New York, New York; Southeast — George’s Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville, Arkansas; Midwest — First Avenue & 7th St Entry in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Southwest — Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma; and West — Troubadour in Los Angeles, California.
Our biggest congratulations to our winners. We also extend our congratulations and thanks to all our finalists not only for their participation in Hometowns, but for all they bring to the live music scene. And of course, you fans who submitted your nominations and votes. Without your continued support, these beloved institutions would not be able to do what they do, and celebrating the connection between fans and venues is what Hometowns of Consequence is all about.
Hear from each of our winners below. You can also grab the official Hometowns of Consequences Winners T-shirt now at the Consequence Shop. A portion of proceeds from sales of these exclusive shirts will go to benefit the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) to support their continued quest to create opportunity and equity for the independent live music scene.
