10.Raleigh
Talent from every genre is constantly arising in Raleigh. You can find everything from singer/songwriters, rock bands, to hip hop music heads. This place has a thriving music culture with a multitude of venues that cater to the locals. Red Hat Amphitheater, Deep South the Bar, The Pour House, and King’s are just a few. J.Cole has ties to this city as he is from North Carolina. It is also about a 35-minute drive from Chapel Hill which is one of the most famous college towns on the planet, which also possesses a deep music culture. An indie artist could really make a name for themselves here. Not to mention you can still find apartments here right outside the city in the $750 -$800/month range. I say that is winning!
