Providence, RI Rhode Island Yellow Pages - Providence, RI Online Yellow Pages

Providence has a very good music scene; many good performers come here. It has the market on East Coast free form noise, a surprisingly international and diverse field of sonic experimentation. Providence has always embraced the radical first, then the general. That has made for corruption in politics, acceptance of most religions, and bands that leaped to embrace Punk and New Wave, Hardcore, Industrial, and Noise, as well as Jump Blues and Free Jazz, sometimes before Boston or New York, sometimes better than them. It is also home to several performing arts centers such as the Veterans Memorial Auditorium, the Providence Performing Arts Center, and the Providence Festival Ballet.
