Is folk music bigger in L.A., New York, or Nashville? Thanks.

I would avoid all of those cities, unless you want to be one of 100,000 singer songwriters in a big town. Try creating a triangle nitch. Basically, take 3 good sized towns within 50 miles of each other in a triangle shape. Hit those same towns over and over until people start to recognize you. So if you were in Columbus,Ohio, for example, it would be Columbus, Dayton, and maybe Athens or Akron. You could easily play 4 nights a week between those 3 cities, sell some CD's, and maybe do some radio. Once you are established there, spread out to a 100 mile radius. Take your time, be patient, and do not wait to be discovered. It doesn't work like that anymore.
