Music Venues in the US
Please tell me the name and hopefully the website of the best live music venues in your city. I am looking for the club that gets most touring bands that are too small to play arenas. And I am also looking for that special small club with smaller acts but tons of local flavor. Thanks.

In DC I'd say the club that gets the most touring bands too small to play arenas is the 9:30 club, and the smaller club with local flavor is the black cat (although there are probably others that fit the second description as well, especially depending on what kind of music you like).

In Birmingham WorkPlay downtown is an excellant venue. John Mayer(before he got so famous,) Marc Broussard and of course Taylor Hicks are just a few names that show up. Also the Alabama Theatre plays some smaller acts.

Exit/In gets a lot of touring bands in Nashville as well. Third & Lindsley is great for a smaller show. Mercy Lounge (not sure if that's what smoot60 meant by Mercury Lounge) & Cannery Ballroom get a lot of acts.
