If you haven’t listened to Adeem the Artist and dig the #country #altcountry #americana sound, please give them a listen. Adeem identifies as #NonBinary and very much speaks truth to power on racism, LGBTQ+, and other issues that plague our country.

Unfortunately, they only posted this parody on twitter, so ignore the link if you’re trying to stay away from there. #Music

So the other I was scrolling Instagram and clicked on post that showed Joe Rogan backstage at a Zach Bryan show. Being a dumdum, I looked at the comments because I wanted to get some context.

Within the first few comments, a dude called Zach a dollar store imitation of Tyler Childers. Someone responded to him that Childers was good until he went ‘woke.’ I quickly showed myself out of the comments after that.

Aside from the idea of comparing the two artists being extremely ridiculous, accusing an altcountry/Americana artist of going ‘woke’ is pretty silly. A good portion of the artists are pretty progressive.

Americana is new community to discuss all things Americana Music.

One of the things that I miss about Reddit is some of the more "niche" genre music communities. In the last couple of years, I've really gotten into Alt Country and Americana. Anyhow, check out the new community at !americana[email protected]

If you haven't caught this show on PBS and like Americana type music, do yourself a favor and give it a watch. I've discovered a few new artists that I wouldn't have otherwise and was reminded that Allison Russell is a freaking boss.

Some of my favorites so far -

Charly Lowry. I wish there was more of her music available because what I've heard is awesome. Check out the live version of "Go Wild" at Youtube.

Rissi Palmer - Her latest song, with Miko Marks, called "Still Here" over at YT.

Adia Victoria - She's simply amazing. Video for "Magnolia Blues" at YT.

Allison Russell - "Persephone" is one of my favorite tunes right now.

One of the coolest things about reddit was the more genre specific music subs that they offered. I was originally going to start an alt-country community, but I think that the umbrella for Americana type music is much larger and incorporates alt-country and much more. Hopefully we can share some cool music here.
