Two Lincolns claim a live music identity, and both earn it. In Lincoln, Nebraska, The Zoo Bar has anchored a blues, rockabilly, and jazz scene for over 50 years as the oldest continuously operating blues bar in the country, while Duffy's Tavern carries a legacy stretching back to 1986 with performances from acts including Nirvana. Beyond those institutions, the city has quietly produced artists across a striking range of genres, from Zager and Evans scoring a six-week Billboard Hot 100 number one in 1969 to the co-founders of They Might Be Giants and Maroon 5 guitarist James Valentine. Across the Atlantic, Lincoln in Lincolnshire runs on a different current: a drum and bass underground with 30 years of history, a growing live circuit anchored by The Engine Shed, and a band in The Rills that landed on NME's essential emerging artists list for 2022.
