My music ethnography

I would like to learn more about country music for my music ethnography because I have never really paid attention to this type of music culture. I have known that the country music was found in Southern United State and origin from traditional folk, gospel, and Celtic music. Country music has been introduced in 1920s and named “Country and Western”, later changed to “country music” because of its style and subgenres. At Love & War in Texas, Zane Williams plays the country music every Thursday and not only Zane there are also a lot of singers perform at the restaurant every day. Since I’ve been in the united state only four years and live in Texas so I would like to know and understand more about the Southern music style. They also have a variety of Texan food that I would like to try. Not only the food at Love and War in Texas leaves the impression for everybody, but there decoration and space also make the people satisfied. The cowboy style of design, the food and country music help the restaurant show more about their Southern style restaurant. And here is their music schedule and some pictures of the band with the country music.
