Minneapolis built its sound on the back of Prince and the legendary First Avenue, where the silver-starred walls still host the best indie rock and hip-hop bills in the Midwest. The Cedar Cultural Center in Cedar-Riverside brings world folk and Americana to intimate rooms, while the Dakota on Nicollet Mall keeps jazz standards sharp and the 331 Club in the Northeast Arts District cranks out punk and electronic sets. Uptown and Dinkytown bars fill the gaps with funk and folk nearly every night.
