3 week Itinerary in September – A few questions

I want to start of by saying this community has been ESSENTIAL for helping me plan this trip. Other trip reports, itineraries, comments are so in-depth and thoughtful. Thank you to everyone for being so thorough and amazing.

My husband and I (early 30s) are going on our honeymoon and my main questions are:

-Does this look feasible/any sore thumbs?

-Any recommendations for experiencing the local music scenes? I’m a musician and would love to experience any genres.

-Any “can’t miss” additions to any days?

-Minor specific questions dispersed in itinerary
