Even though Miko didn’t get to do four years at the Musicians Institute, she got quite an education in rock-n roll. One night they would be opening for Nick Lowe at the Hollywood Palladium and then the next for the Ramones. It was this constant back and forth into new musical languages and territories that gave them the opportunity to build a diverse fan base. They shared bills with Social Distortion, Roseanne Cash, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Chris Isaak. The spaces were equally diverse. Spaces were Cathay Du Grand one night and The Palomino the next.

Johnny Cash said it best, “Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing.

Country music is not just words written down on a piece of paper, they are more than that. The artists can write songs that most people can relate to. Alan Jackson and Luke Bryan are both very known country singers, but are different when it comes down to managing their careers.

The origins of country music date back to the beginning of the nineteenth century. It emerged mainly in the southern part of the united states and at first, was very similar to the folk music that had come from Europe and Africa. Ballads and dance tunes were among the most prominent type of country songs at the beginning. Later on, the simple musical form and harmonies of the blues also greatly influenced the development of the country genre. Country music, formerly known as hillbilly music, is usually made up of string instruments like banjos, guitars, and fiddles. Historically, country music was associated with western music, hillbillies, cowboys, and white working class Americans. Today however, the genre is much more broad and increasingly growing in popularity.

But as we have evolved and technology has changes so has societies taste in country music. Country music was founded in the rural part of society, but as time as gone on and people have changed so has the music.

It developed in the southeastern states of the USA as a mix of folk music from the British Isles, church music and African American blues. It was played on instruments like acoustic guitar, mandolin, autoharp, fiddle and the banjo. Old-time music was first recorded in the 1920s, with recordings of the Carter Family becoming the most popular. A. P. Carter collected folk songs and also wrote new songs, and he sang them in harmony with his guitar-playing sister-in-law Maybelle and his wife Sarah, who also played autoharp.
