Country Music Month

Country Music Month is an exciting celebration that millions of country music fans look forward to each year. It originated in the 1920s in the southern United States and quickly gained popularity due to its distinct American flavor, with lyrics that focused on the everyday lives of ordinary people, rather than romance.

History

Country Music Month has been celebrated unofficially since 1964, and was officially declared by President Richard Nixon in 1970. It was a fusion of various styles, such as folk, church and African American blues, and was performed with instruments like the violin, autoharp and acoustic guitar. It’s origins trace back to violinists from the southern Appalachian region, and in the 1930s, it was popularized by being used as soundtracks for cowboy films such as Urban Cowboy with John Travolta. Today, country music continues to inspire, bring joy, and touch the hearts of many.
