  • AN EXAMINATION of a MUSIC SCENE AS ECONOMIC CLUSTER Michael Seman, University of North Texas
    Artivate: A Journal of Entrepreneurship in the Arts Volume 4, Issue 2 http://artivate.org pp. 33-49 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ WHAT IF HEWLETT AND PACKARD HAD STARTED A BAND INSTEAD? AN EXAMINATION OF A MUSIC SCENE AS ECONOMIC CLUSTER Michael Seman, University of North Texas Abstract A growing area of discourse in urban economics is the value of artistic production and its role in economic development theory. One arts subsector that has received little attention is popular music. Prior research tangentially acknowledges that music scenes function as economic clusters, but little detailing of their dynamics as such exists. The bulk of attention is paid to how these scenes operate in the framework of the broader music industry, not how they contribute to their surrounding urban economic landscapes. This paper uses Michael Porter’s economic cluster theory to examine Denton, Texas’ music scene. Findings point to the scene operating as an economic cluster as defined by Porter in addition to catalyzing economic and community development. Results address the existing gap in research leaving the economic value of music scenes underexplored and help detail the necessary conditions for a music scene to develop. Keywords Urban, Economic, Cluster, Music, Scene, Entrepreneurship Introduction A growing area of discourse in urban economics is the value of artistic production and its role in current economic development theory (Currid, 2009). One arts subsector that has received little attention in this discourse is popular music. Of specific interest are music scenes – the spatially-based cultural agglomerations of human and physical capital that include musicians, consumers, entrepreneurs, technicians, venues, and studios all working together (often in a volunteer, “Do-It-Yourself” or “DIY” nature) to facilitate the creation and performance of music (Bennett & Peterson, 2004; Connell & Gibson, 2003; Florida & Jackson, 2010).

  • N December 1958, Ritchie Valens Paid A
    nitphie va ens By I n December 1958, Ritchie Lenny _ Valens paid a visit to his Kaye alma mater, Pacoima Junior High School, in the San Fer- nando Valley of Southern California. Not much older perPormers than the assembled students (he had turned seventeen the previous May 13), he erformed an assortment of its, his own and others’, including his latest single, the double^sided “Donna”/ “La Bamba,” which would climb into the Top Five by Ethe following February. ichard Stephen valenzuela was among the first genera­ tion of rock & rollers to have his path inscribed by the music it­ self, rather than its roots and tributaries. Although he had learned Spanish songs on the secondhand Sears guitar he had ■refinished in wood shop at Pacoima and had been playing professionally for a little over a year, his listening experience hardly pre­ dated the music’s birth. As a consequence, he got his nickname - “Little Ritchie” - from the influence of Little Richard, his singing style from Fats Domino and Buddy Holly, his reverberated guitar from the nascent surf rhythms that were even then pounding the shores of California. The Pacoima students saw him as one of their own, though Valens had just returned from a Hawaiian tour and would be travel­ ing to the East Coast later that month to ap­ pear on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand and Alan Freed’s Jubilee of Stars at the Loew’s State on Times Square. Ritchie spoke their lan­ guage - not just Spanglish, but the secret pass­ word that is rock & roll.
