You don\u2019t look a gift horse in the mouth \u2014 and we\u2019re selfishly going to say that maxim goes double when that horse is a self-described \u201ctrusted and established online casino in Ontario, Canada, known for its thrilling gaming experience\u201d and is telling us Miami<\/a> is the second hottest spot for live music in the country<\/a>. (Well, okay, yeah, we\u2019re tied with New Orleans for the silver just behind Atlanta, but \u201ckeep your enemies\u201d closer isn\u2019t terrible advice, either.)<\/p>\n

Spin Genie \u2014 \u201cYour Magical Online Casino in Ontario\u201d \u2014 \u201canalyzed key data points, including the number of venues<\/a>, artists, events, festivals<\/a>, Google searches, and music-related jobs per capita\u201d to compile the list, which also includes Orlando (go, Florida!), Boston, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Seattle in the top ten.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hailing Miami \u201cone of America\u2019s most culturally diverse and musically active cities,\u201d the report cites festivals such as Ultra<\/a> and GroundUp<\/a> and the city\u2019s mix of Latin, Caribbean, and U.S. influences,\u201d which translates into \u201ca sound unlike anywhere else in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMuch like the other hotspots in our top 10, music truly is woven into the fabric of Miami,\u201d the report notes. \u201cWhether you\u2019re relaxing at a beachfront bar or living it up in one of the city\u2019s high-octane nightclubs, it\u2019s never hard to find incredible live music.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe\u2019re thankful for you. Are you thankful for us?\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe feel thankful for our staff and for the privilege of fulfilling our mission to be an unparalleled source of information and insight in Miami. We\u2019re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community.
Help us continue giving back to Miami.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The numbers are actually very interesting. Did you know, for example, that for every 100,000 residents, we have 21 venues, 297 artists, 54 upcoming music events, and 40 music-related job opportunities?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The national average, by way of comparison, is 212 musicians per 100,000 residents, which makes Miami look pretty damn culturally refined \u2014 even if we have a long way to go to match our closest rivals, Atlanta (577) and New Orleans (633), in that particular stat. We\u2019re still taking Las Vegas to the cleaners (143), though \u2014 something we might note if we were in a competitive mood, which we\u2019re not, because if Miami has proven anything in the last decade, it\u2019s that we don\u2019t chase, we attract.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

All of this is great news because, as we\u00a0reported last week<\/a>, a recent study by the National Independent Venue Association found that in 2024, Florida stages supported more than 52,000 jobs across the state, paid out $2.2 billion in wages and benefits, and generated $421.7 million in annual state and local tax revenue. (The numbers for Georgia venues, we may as well point out, are 17,118 jobs, $654 million in wages, and $83.4 million in tax revenue.)<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re looking for something to include in your gratitude journal, there you have it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A scene from Despacio at III Points in 2023.
