Cincinnati's musical DNA runs through King Records, where James Brown built an R&B empire, and the city's scene still blends rockabilly, soul, and hip-hop across the Ohio River basin. The Southgate House Revival in Newport, just across the river, hosts indie rock and punk bands in a converted Victorian mansion. Over-the-Rhine's MOTR Pub and the surrounding district sustain a grassroots indie and blues scene, while the city's jazz history lives on in rooms along the historic Vine Street corridor.
