Music Scene?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Vanderbilt University

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I'm an RD applicant to A&S. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about the music scene at Vanderbilt...obviously, Nashville is one of the best cities in the country for music (which is a big draw for me) but I was wondering about the school itself, outside of Blair (I'm not interested in majoring in music, just in playing a bit on the side). I currently play drums in a jazz/rock band and am interested in continuing to play both styles. I just want to know how easy it is to find other people to play in a band with, and how big a part of the social scene music is.</p>

<p>Lots of people can jam out here and do. There are a bunch of student bands and you can easily balance that with other aspects of social life. Not to mention fraternities book bands, whether they're local or on campus, all the time.</p>

<p>The bars in the area around the campus seem to have live entertainment every weekend. Even the hotel I stayed at had open mic nights. I think that there are a lot of possibilities for amateur musicians in the city.</p>
