On November 11th, 2016, Umphrey’s McGee released an album called “ZONKEY.” This album is contrived of all mashups. All of the mashups are combinations of the band’s influences. Although mashups…

I am Shelby Cope and I am from the Early College here on Campus. I have little experience with music. I do know how to read music and sing. I participated in chorus all throughout middle school.

Otherwise I know a few keys on the piano and as of right now I am…

It emerged during the mid 1960s among folk rock and blues rock bands in the United States and United Kingdom. It often used new recording techniques and effects that drew on non-Western sources such the ragas and drones of Indian music. Psychedelic rock bridged the transition from early blues and folk-based rock…

Genres of music have always been developed and formed with the help of other genres. From Country to R&B, these genres have helped form rock as we know it today.

were not my own and began listening less to overplayed pop songs from my generation. Don’t get me wrong, I do love good pop, modern rock, and indie rock songs. My musical taste ranges from Aretha Franklin to The Rolling Stones to Bob Dylan to Fleetwood Mac to The Animals and Nina Simone. Some of the things I love about classic rock are that their songs are timeless, their lyrics are unforgettable, their band members have unique styles and they do not rely solely on a computer to compose their…
