All I can say is it is most definitely NOT Michael Bolton. (CT)

It looks like we can only lay claim to him, John Mayer and Gene Pitney. How sad.

 

[KMFJD]

I'll take credit for these:

Alanis Morissette Ottawa
April Wine Nova Scotia
Shania Twain Timmins/Windsor
The Tragically Hip Kingston

That's a huge local area

I don't like them at all, but apparently 3OH!3 is getting big. From Colorado, where our original area code is 303. I know... retarded.

The one I find worth claiming is Ivan Moody, vocalist of Five Finger Death Punch. He's originally from CO though I think the band itself was formed in California.

 

[Saint Nick]

Funk Trek
Satchel Grande

Thats about the only musicians worth mentioning from Nebraska.

 

[MiniDoom]

Fugazi/Minor Threat/Evens
Thievery Corporation
Bad Brains
Henry Rollins
SOJA
Chuck Brown
BT
Dave Grohl's alright

 

[Saint Nick]

five finger death punch is soooo fucking terrible....wow

We've got a pretty amazing "local" music scene here. But names ya'll might recognize would be:

Strangefolk
The Samples
Grace Potter
