I attended Big Nick & the Gila Monsters at Janey’s Coffee Co. & Bodega, where they performed a blues style of music. Big Nick & the Gila Monsters aren’t a very big band or group that is known worldwide, but they are based out of Phoenix, Arizona and are all very talented individuals. They performed several songs, but never let the audience know what they were playing which was unusual to me because usually they let us know what song they’re playing so we could find out more about it. Although…

Music soothes the soul and can connect to people on a deeper level than almost anything else. However, prior to Elvis Presley and the1950s that was not the case, music was segregated and dull, Elvis changed this forever. Elvis and his music came at a time when the baby boomers were all teenagers and beginning to identify themselves and discover music. The civil rights movement was just about to begin, and the tension between whites and blacks was just beginning to decrease. The two races found…

dipped only during the prime time but peaked during drive time and late evenings (Douglas 220). With portable transistor radios and car radios meant that listening was no longer confined to home alone and it was one of the reasons why automobiles and rock ‘n’ roll are linked as cultural symbols of the decade. The emergence of DJ as a personality created greater bond with radios. It gave upper hand over centralised television. By late 1940s and 1950s small radio stations proliferated in…

throughout the rock, specifically alternative, music scene. No matter the style, there are relatively few Black artists gaining success in rock music, despite the historical impact African Americans have made on the genre. There are many possible causes for this racial divide in something as easily accessible as music, starting in the early roots of rock and continuing through the 20th and 21st centuries. In the course I would design, African American Impact and Exclusion in Rock Music, we would…

Emotion and arguments go hand in hand. Emotion moves people and makes all rational thought go out the window. For my pathos argument, I would prefer to use song lyrics. These songs may not have immediate humor, but if you understand and have experience in the backstory it makes so much more since. Ronnie used to be in a band called Escape the Fate during the “scene” era of a new genre “Pop Metal.” Unfortunately Ronnie got into some pretty unsavory situations. These events lead him to prison and…

attention, and the ones that did have attention were not allowed to have a say in anything. A group of musicians, later known as the outlaws, decided to change things up. These musicians created an edgy form of hardcore country music that was influenced by rock and roll, folks, and blues that became known as outlaw country music. The two main faces of outlaw country music are Waylon Jennins and Willie Nelson. These three genres may differ in sound, icons, and meaning, but they all share…

were Jazz, Swing, and Big Band; these types of music were very popular because of the way the sound affected people during the time period and these types of music were part of the harlem resistance till the 1950s. Throughout the 1950s and the 1960s rock ‘n Roll, Motown, Big Band, and Country were starting to become very popular.. As the 70s came along Disco, Motown, and even R&B were major genres especially because people were trying to express who they were through…

fame, however, lead guitarists are musicians who are masters of their craft. These legendary lead guitarists in rock bands that include Jimi Hendrix, and Slash, are famous in their own right. It’s true that the vocalist may have his lyrics, but, it is the rhythm section behind him, who truly make the sound. The list of legendary lead guitarists: 1. The top spot goes to the American rock guitarist and singer - Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix is best known as one of the most influential electric…

Alternative music is known as a distinction from mainstream rock music. It is different due to a different, somewhat distorted, guitar sound, insubordinate lyric, and a casual, or defiant, attitude being portrayed in the music. However, there are many sub genres included in alternative music ranging from rock to soft guitar playing. The subgenres are grunge, indie pop, indie rock, reggae, electronic music, jazz, and underground music. This type of music is normally kept out of mainstream, and is…
