Columbia's progressive streak runs through The Blue Note on North Ninth Street, a venue that has booked indie rock and punk legends since 1980 in a restored vaudeville hall. Rose Music Hall down the street keeps the psychedelic and surf rock torch lit for smaller crowds, while the university's presence guarantees hip-hop and folk bills do not go wanting. Downtown bars and the historic district keep the town's Americana and country roots close to the surface.
