Hows the local music scene? I have spent my high school years playing in various rock, folk, and blues bands and would like to continue at least at some level during college. I have found a few places to play over the past few years in my home town of around 50,000 people and would assume that a city the size of chicago would offer many more opportunities to perform.

So, can anyone comment on the local music scene in the city of Chicago or more specifically live music on and around the UChicago campus?

any info on popular genres in the city, magnitude of the local scenes, overall vibe, if UChicago students often check out the local talent, ect.

thanks
