"This new collection from Routledge presents a timely and broad-reaching survey of music performance’s role in the urban setting…Musical Performance and the Changing City presents a rich and descriptive set of case-studies…For students or researchers of the individual cities or scenes described, this will be an invaluable resource…For those squarely interested in urban studies and popular music, this will prove more interesting, indeed essential." –Ian Rogers, RMIT University, Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music
