After tallying up the nominations for the over 1,300 local music venues submitted for our Hometowns of Consequence campaign, we have our finalists. So far this week, we’ve highlighted the four finalists in each of the Southeast, Northeast, Midwest, and West regions, and now it’s time to shine a light on the Southwest nominees: Oklahoma’s Cain’s Ballroom, Texas’ Mohawk and White Oak Music Hall, and Arizona’s The Van Buren.
Different staff members from each of these venues answered a Consequence curated Q&A to give fans insights into the histories, memories, and stories of these beloved institutions. Not only were we looking to get voters more familiar with the venues themselves, but to celebrate the very people who keep these places running and make our nights of music bliss possible.
