George Strait and Texas
Forget Eminem, Kid Rock and Nugent. First and foremost for Detroit is Motown. Other places are tied to one or more artists. Detroit had it’s own genre.
Miami Sound Machine and…Miami.
As did Seattle.
You ask anyone where Bob Dylan was from and they’ll say “Hibbing Minnesota”
Massachusetts has James Taylor and Arlo Guthrie
Hawaii - Don Ho?
Texas- Willie Nelson?
California - Beach Boys?
Indiana - John Cougar Mellencamp?
Louisiana - Al Hirt?
Utah - The Osmonds?
Outkast: Atlanta
I don’t know that many people really associate Rush with Toronto. I doubt most people know they’re from there. Certainly Drake is far, far more identified with Toronto.
Among Canadian bands, the strongest city connection is the Tragically Hip and Kingston.
Personally, I will always associate Ozzy with San Antonio, TX. 
Well, the airport maybe.
This is what I was going to say before I listed Kid Rock or Eminem. However, this is about artists being intertwined with a region.
But he’s not identified with Minnesota in any way. If anything, Dylan’s strongest associations are with New York City, where he rose to fame, and Woodstock, New York, where he lived for a time starting in the 1960s.

Texas, baby:cool:
But Philly was first - Ojays, many others
Oh, I’d say New Orleans had its own sound before Philly. Chicago, too!
Don’t forget Kansas City. I think Memphis had 5 of them in one century.

I’m not certain what the OP’s intent is, but many responses seem to be merely a list of who came from where.
A more interesting take would be which musicians are associated with a city or area but are not originally from there.
Along those lines I would submit the J. Geils Band’s connection with Detroit.
We consider Detroit our second home. Our home away from home. It is really the first place that went out of the way to help us stay afloat in the years where we were just trying to find an audience. Detroit embraced us in a very special way. - Peter Wolf
mmm
Dude.
I am from California, so I am honor-bound to dislike all things Texas (said while sipping chardonnay in a hot tub ;)), but no place beats Texas for guitar players.
- T-Bone Walker - THE grandaddy of them all; first electric guitar blues man, and ground zero for jump blues.
- Buddy Holly
- Albert King
- Freddie King - the Texas Cannonball
- Clarence Gatemouth Brown
- Albert Collins
- Jimmy Vaughn
And that’s just off the top of my head.
Sometimes, the musicians a city or state embraces and identifies with are NOT the ones outsiders identify with them.
It’s possible, likely that real people living in Colorado feel no attachment to John Denver at all, but people all over America (all over the world!) associate John Denver with Colorado.
Similarly, real Los Angelenos may be sick and tired of the Beach Boys, but people all over the world still have an image of fun in the California sun that the Beach Boys planted in their brains.
