How does the music scene differ in Chicago from San Francisco?

"They are both really cool, but Chicago, to this day, has remnants of its dramatic past that people are really devoted to. There is a seriousness and a keen level of curiosity. People seem really devoted to the musical roots planted here, too."

Since 1904, the Armour Stage has hosted thousands of performances by musical legends ranging from Toscanini to B.B. King. Another use? Countless seated dinners, cocktail receptions, and meetings.
