Louisville, KY is my home town, and has a vibrant and thriving music scene, especially on the heavier side of things, and in the local punk scene. It's not just the music scene, either. The arts in general are everywhere, and local artists of all stripes, genres, and even mediums tend to work together for the betterment of all. As far as I'm aware, the local musicians are accepting of newcomers and open to new ideas, but you have to be aware that local pride is fierce. Louisville is known as "the world's biggest small town" to locals, and that title is apt. Everybody knows everybody else, and if they don't know you, they're best friends with your friend. A brand new musician with no connections here could have a hard time integrating well, unless they really proved that they were bringing some skill to the table.
Anyway, there you go. Hope I was informative enough.
