On Hand

Should Detroit Have A Music District?


Listen Later

For decades, Detroit has been a hub for music of all genres and has been recognized and appreciated around the world. From jazz to Motown to techno and hip hop, Detroit musicians are continuously at the forefront of their genres. So, should the city have its own designated music district?  Much like those in New Orleans, Austin or Memphis? Keith Owens says, yes. He's a contributing columnist for the Detroit Free Press, and a musician. He recently wrote a piece on this topic and has been thinking a lot about what it could mean for Detroit to have a central district for live music.

GUEST: 

  • Keith Owens, local writer, and co-founder of Detroit Stories Quarterly and the We are Speaking substack newsletter and podcast
