The Music Cities
What do Iron Maiden, BabyMetal, and Judas Priest have in common? They understand something about tribes, identity, and longevity that most cities and businesses never figure out.
Welcome to The Music Cities Podcast
I'm Kevin Crowder. Metalhead. Street Economist. Guitarist. 30+ years in local economic development; 40+ years in metal. I use music - mainly metal and rock - to teach what actually builds remarkable places: tribal identity, cultural infrastructure, brand longevity, and the entrepreneurial grit that creates scenes from nothing.
We're not talking about stadiums. We're talking about Tampa death metal, Japanese precision, Scandinavian risk-taking, and the venues that become cultural infrastructure. The hidden stories and real-world strategies that generic "best-practice" thinking will never teach you.
For economic developers, city leaders, entrepreneurs, and music fans who want to learn something different.
