Well, the model in Country & Western music (arguably a form of folk)is to establish a center like Branson, Missouri with multiple concert venues and have everyone come see you.

I'm reminded of this because there is currently in my state a plan floating around to infuse millions of bucks into cash-strapped Butte, Montana that follows this same idea; build gambling casinos and at least 40 "music halls" to attract tourists. The halls are apparently to be staffed with acts from the "60's & 70's". Is this a boondoggle or what?!?
