Who knows?
I grew up in Northern VA, DC region in the 70's. (Graduated High School in 82).
There was definetly a MUCH bigger and Active music scene back then!
9:30 club had some great talent through there in the early eighties.
But there was lot's of small clubs supporting ALL kinds of Genres too.
I ran the sound board and lighting (and carried equipment..and everything else) for a local Country band that gigged two time a week arounf '83-84.
LOTs of places too play back then.

Let's not forget the DC Blues Society. They were pretty active too!!
Archie Edwards, John JAckson, Cephas and Wiggons. DC/NOVA was (is) a big part of the Piedmont Blues scene.

Also...how many places back then had live Bluegrass!! I can think of a few.

Yeah, there is still a DC music scene..but it's getting smaller every decade.
