The Expedia travel website has discovered what city music-lovers long have known.
Greensboro offers a variety of great sounds.
The blog post uncovers “lesser-known music-centric destinations across the country.”
“The Nashvilles and Austins of the world have already been stamped with the music city letter, but there are far more towns out there that are rocking under the radar,” the website says.
Some of the 12 cities have a signature sound that dates back years. Others are the anti-sound, refusing to conform to a certain genre, Expedia said.
“Vocal thrills and string quartets buzz from Greensboro,” it says. “The classical vibes are strongly rooted in the city’s identity, as local women began celebrating the musical style in Greensboro as early as the 1890s. Bel Canto Company is noted as one of the best chamber vocal ensembles in the Southeast, while the University of North Carolina Greensboro School of Music brings students to star performance levels.”
It suggests that visitors “cozy up to The Carolina Theatre, which originally opened its doors in 1927 as a vaudeville theater. To discover what’s hip on the scene, get tickets to a gig at The Blind Tiger or the Cone Denim Entertainment Center, where performers promise to bring down the house. There are plenty of Greensboro attractions that show off the city’s beat.”
Greensboro joins on the list the cities of Asheville; Cleveland; Athens, Ga.; Lawrence, Kan; Olympia, Wash.; Denton, Texas; Ann Arbor, Mich.; Brattleboro, Vt.; Gainesville, Fla.; Lowell, Mass., and Champaign-Urbana, Ill.
Country chart-topping musician Dylan Scott will perform on Oct. 21 at the Cone Denim Entertainment Center in downtown Greensboro.
