Country music, once known as Country and Western music, originated in the southeastern United States in the 1920s with roots in the blues, traditional spirituals, and folk music. Since 1925 the "Grand Ole Opry," featuring country music singers and country music bands, has been broadcast weekly from Nashville, Tennessee. During the 1960s, country music became a multi-million dollar industry. Since then, it has undergone a national revival, with country music singers such as Garth Brooks, Willie Nelson, the Judds, Reba McEntire, LeAnne Rimes, Shania Twain, Tim McGraw, and country music bands such as The Oak Ridge Boys, Alabama, and The Dixie Chicks achieving immense popularity in both the country music and pop music audiences. Country music has lyrics which portray the failures and successes of everyday living. This is largely what makes it so appealing. Country western music singing of today is widely popular at festivals, sporting events, reunions, and more. So hire a country singer for your next special event!
