I live near Fargo ND. Unlike a lot of the U.S., when it comes to help wanted signs, they are everywhere here. The music business is OK here as well as we are in Western MN land of 10,000 lakes and resorts.

But if you were to move somewhere, where the signs said Musicians Wanted where would you go?

Osoyoos, Okanagan. No, very sunny, but actually a bit too rural...
Tsawwassen, Greater Vancouver (though a bit rainy)...
In Europe: Saint Tropez, Côte d'Azur (though a bit very expensive)...
In Germany: Lake Constance (wait, people are a bit too conservative there, and in winter it's all foggy)...
Actually it's not the worst place where I am at present.

It's super competitive everywhere with more musicians then gigs. If I wanted be a recording/session guy, I'd go to Nasville, or maybe LA. If I wear a jazzer, it would be NYC. OMB types would probably do best in a resort area with lots of seniors, I'm not sure exactly where, but probably outside of the states. It all comes down to playing/singing your ass off and having some contacts and amazing people/social skills.

There are polished pros playing for tips all over Nashville. Not the place to get a job!

That's might be true, but Nashville will drive you to be a better musician to stand out and be BETTER & UNIQUE also then the all the rest which always in turn makes you sought after if you got the goods,........ cool2

That will hardly work out. If everyone gets better, nobody can stand out.

Then there is the problem of distinguishing a good musician who has paid his dues in thousands of hours of work learning his trade, and, because of advancing technology, the button pusher.

I am all for advancing technology, but the line gets rather blurred for the average listener.
