PHILADELPHIA — The local music scene has been suffering all across the USA. There is an oversupply and an under-demand of music. More and more artists have been forced to give away their music and/or play for free. With an oversupply of cheap music how can local music venues stay in business? Answer: they can not.

Recently, three famous Philly venues known for their support of local bands have abruptly closed their doors. The North Star Bar, Jus Java (in Norristown) and the Legendary Dobbs (on South Street) went out of business without notice cancelling all upcoming shows.
