Articles related to "Bluegrass"



All the News That's ....
One of the things that new listeners of a genre need is information about that genre. There are lots of sources of information from historical to today's happenings. While there are periodicals that can be found on newsstands, Americana information may be regional unless you subscribe to a specific magazine. One alternative is web-based magazines. We'll explore two such sites this month that provide information on Bluegrass.

Indie Artists Worth a Look
The one thing I've found over the past several years is that there is plenty of talent out there that doesn't get a recording contract with some Nashville label. One excellent source is MP3.com; others can only be found after some painstaking searches through various Internet sites. This month we'll take a look at two independent artists (actually one is a group) that may be worth a listen.

Bluegrass Associations Promoting the Genre at the Local Level
Whle most music fans of any genre are familiar with artists of national fame, many listeners are not familiar with local artists. The problem is one of finding them and the opportunities to hear their music. This is the raison d'etre (reason for being) of the various local and regional music associations. This month we'll take a look at several of these sites, but give you a place to find other similar sites that may be in your area.

Real Country Music For The Reast Of Us
For those who noticed the change in the title of this section during June, you may have wondered what was going on. For those who are looking for the Country page for July may have to stand by. After last month's article, I've decided to change the focus of my topic to the Americana style of the greater Country and Western genre. This means we'll be looking at Bluegrass and Western styles of music. I'm hoping that Suite 101 will find someone, maybe a with a younger point-of-view, to bring back a "New Country" topic. Over the next month, I'll be changing the links to reflect the new topic. Let's look at two sites for this new topic.

What Is Americana?
Many may be wondering exactly what styles of "Country" music are included under this topic of Americana. While evryone's definition may be different, I'm going to define it generally as traditional forms of the genre. Specifically, besides Bluegrass and Western styles, I'll also cover those mainstream artists that consistently perform Traditional Country music. Some examples of this latter category include not only Mandy Barnett and Brad Paisley, but Hank Williams III and Danni Leigh. This month we'll take a look at the sites of both a recent IBMA Female award winner as well as one of the associations promoting Western music.
