Buddy Holly Buddy Holly was the musician that changed the face or rock and roll for history to come. In fact, many references to him, his songs, or the way he died can be found in songs decades later including don McLeans song American Pie, the rolling stones “not fade away”, and the beatles were named in tribute to the crickets Buddy had always had a love for music. When he was a little boy he learned how to play the piano and the fiddle. Once Buddy was old enough his brother taught him…

The roots of modern country music go back to post World War II America, a time of great shifts and changes in the social life of the country. For many, the casualties of war were followed by the social changes of the new era. The city (and its suburbs) became the core of America, and migration to these cities, easier credit (and the things it purchased), and the baby boom became new realities to which the culture had to adjust. It its essence, country music reflected the new concerns of its…

Band Paper Spring 2018 Ava Cortelli I do love today’s music. I’m big into pop and alternative music and I like to listen to whatever is on the radio. I also enjoy movie soundtracks such as The Greatest Showman and even Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Although I’m happy where music is at today, If I could go back to any musical time period, I would definitely go back to the 80s when post-disco music became popular and rock continued to amuse a wide audience. The 1980s are remembered for pop…

given to him playfully by his friends. He has quite a unique sound and plays three instruments at once while singing. You’ll probably see him playing in his hat, wife-beater, skinny jeans, and proper boots. His music is a cross between folk, rock and roll, and blues. His one-man band set up is what he is best known for but he recently signed with Dualtone (same studio that signed with The Lumineers) so recently came out with a new album produced by them. I will be analyzing a song called Late…

with who they are, you may have heard some of their songs and at least like one of the songs. The songs they created are timeless and fit almost every mood imaginable. This is despite the fact that they represented drugs and sex on top of the rock and roll aspect of their band. To really appreciate this rock band, one must take a step back into the history of the band, understand the personal look (through my eyes),…

[Title]: In 2010 Rolling Stone magazine made an issue of 100 greatest Artist of our time. It was no surprise the 22 time Grammy award winning band U2 made the list with all they have done for the rock world. Aside from having an enormous impact on the music industry U2 takes part in many foundations helping third world countries like Africa fight hunger, AIDS, and other necessary programs helping the people. The groups quality traits not only reflect in their actions but in much of their…

The concert I went to see was none other than Phil Vassar. He is a current modern country musician who got his start in the country music business in the 1990’s writing songs for various artists. Some artists he wrote for include Tim McGraw, Jo Dee Messina, Collin Raye, and Alan Jackson. Country music has changed greatly since its beginning. Fans who grew up with country music since its beginning also notice how the style has evolved over the years. Now country sounds more like a mixture of…

Therefore, the majority of soviets that were fans of rock and roll didn’t see the Western world as a threat, as well as, not giving in to the propaganda created by the government. Music influenced greatly the population of the Soviet Union since, it made it possible for artists to talk about social issues for around…

Everyone enjoys listening to music and everyone prefer their own type they listen to. This will be about my two favorite types of music: r&b and hip-hop. R&b and hip-hop music both have grown from something special that also form them to be very differentiated between the two. They have so much in common but are also unique in their own ways. There is so much information about the cultural background of both R&B and Hip-Hop/Rap music. R&b is referred to as rhythm and blues. It has been…

What do you listen to when you turn on the radio? Is it country, is it rap, or is it rock? If you are one of those people that choose rock, then let's talk. There are so many legendary rock bands. There is Metallica, AC/DC, Aerosmith, and Black Sabbath that's just to me a few. There are also a few that have followed in their footsteps, like Avenged Sevenfold’s Synester Gates amazing guitar solos. Bring me the Horizon’s Jordan Fish playing piano, and Asking Alexandria’s Denis Stoff screaming in a…
