Americana (also known as American roots music) is an amalgam of American music formed by the confluence of the shared and varied traditions that make up the musical ethos of the United States, specifically those sounds that are emerged from the Southern United States such as folk, gospel, blues, country, jazz, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, bluegrass, and other external influences.

One of the coolest things about reddit was the more genre specific music subs that they offered. I was originally going to start an alt-country community, but I think that the umbrella for Americana type music is much larger and incorporates alt-country and much more. Hopefully we can share some cool music here.

I'm not sure how much I'll be able to contribute but I've been trying to get into bluegrass and I'm looking forward to following this community and learning about artists and genres that I'm not yet familiar with

I think the really fun things with Americana is that it is such a wide ranging genre that there is a ton material to discover.
