Introduction

The much-anticipated country music festival is finally heading to Chicago! From June 7-9, musicians from all over the United States will converge on the Windy City to showcase their talents. This festival is sure to be a hit with country music fans of all ages.

The History of Country Music

Country music is a genre of American popular music that originated in the Southern United States in the 1920s. It takes its roots from a blend of traditional folk music, blues, and Appalachian music. Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms, folk lyrics, and harmonies mostly accompanied by string instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic guitars, fiddles, and harmonicas.

The term “country music” first appeared in print in 1927 in the Saturday Evening Post article “Respectable Music” by William Faulkner. He wrote, “This blaring, twanging, intoxicating music is country music to those who do not live within easy hailing distance of Broadway.” The following year saw the first issue of Billboard magazine publish its first ever country music chart. Between 1910 and 1925 there was a growing popularity of “wrangler” or “cowboy” culture throughout America. This was particularly true in Texas and Oklahoma where Ranching was a way of life. This popularity led to a demand for new types of popular music to accompany the activity which gave rise to what we now know as country western or just plain country music.
