BOK VAN BLERK - THEUN JORDAAN - LIANIE MAY - JUANITA DU PLESSIS - RIANA NEL - BOBBY VAN JAARSVELD - JAY DU PLESSIS - WILLEM BOTHA - KARLIEN VAN JAARSVELD - DEWALD WASSERFALL SOUTH AFRICAN MALE & FEMALE SINGERS FANPAGE BOK VAN BLERK BOK VAN BLERK SINGER Bok (GewildesMusikantus) Kenmerke Hierdie is die vermaaklikste boksoort en is bekend daarvoor dat hy musiek maak wat die kol tref en by alle Suid-Afrikaners aanklank behoort te vind. Hou ook sy lyf gereeld akteur en spog met meer as 163 000 volgelinge of Facebook, 105 000 op Twitter, CD verkope van by die half miljoen en ‘n lang lys toekennings. Gebore op 30 Maart 1978 in Pretoria, het hy na skool Boukunde en Konstruksiebestuur gestudeer voordat hy vir sewe jaar lank in die boubedryf gewerk het. Maar die passie om musiek te maak het hom voortdurend daaraan herinner dat hy iets anders wil doen en teen 2005, het Bok bouwerk van ‘n ander aard aangepak deurdat hy as professionele musikant aan sy bewonderaarsbasis begin bou het. Vier albums en ‘n hele rits toekennings later, is Bok een van die land se mees herkenbare stemme en gesigte in die vermaakwêreld, veral nadat hy oor die laaste drie jaar ook gereeld in Suid-Afrikaanse films te siene was. Bok se musiek spreek van ‘n liefde vir sy land en sy mense met ‘n sweempie humor wat hier en daar bygevoeg word. “De La Rey,” die eerste album met die gelyknamige titelsnit, het mense laat regop sit en notisie neem en multi-platinum verkope is behaal. In 2007 het Bok drie Huisgenoot Tempo Toekennings gewen, asook vyf Vonk Toekennings en die MK Musiekvideo van die Jaar. Tussendeur dit alles, help hy ook met die vervaardiging van die rugby musiekalbum “Ons Vir Jou” wat meer as 90 000 kopieë verkoop soos wat Wêreldbekerkoors die land oorheers. Daar word ook gewerk aan die opvolgalbum, “Afrikanerhart,” wat in 2009 vrygestel word en vinnig dubbel platinum verkope aanteken. In 2010, wen Bok die SAMA vir Bes Verkopende Album vir “Afrikanerhart” en word hy ook aangewys as die top verkopende Suid-Afrikaanse kunstenaar van die jaar. Na die vrystelling van sy derde album, “My Kreet,” skaars ‘n jaar later, ontvang hy ‘n goue ere-toekenning by die 2011 Vonk Afrikaanse Musiek Toekennings. Dis ook in 2011 wat Bok as die hoofakteur in die film Platteland verskyn teenoor Lianie May en Steve Hofmeyr. Die rolprent word die grootste Afrikaanse film van die jaar en die DVD verkope bereik dubbel platinum status. Die situasie herhaal homself in 2013 toe Bok in die film “As Jy Sing” verskyn en dit die grootste Afrikaanse rolprent van die jaar word. Rondom dieselfde tyd wat die DVD vroeg in 2014 uitgereik is, verskyn Bok weer op die grootskerm in “Vrou Soek Boer.” Bok gaan ook in “Leading Lady,” ‘n internasionale rolprent wat later in 2014 vrygestel word, verskyn. En hoewel als in groot geheimsinnigheid gehul is, is daar ook bevestig dat Bok aan nog ‘n ander rolprent gaan begin skiet in 2014. Bok se vierde album, “Steek die vure aan,” word tydens Braaidag en Erfenisdagverrigtinge in 2013 bekendgestel aan ‘n handjievol media, mede-kunstenaars en lojale bewonderaars wat vinnig genoeg kaartjies kon bekom. Verkoopsukses is hoofsaaklik te danke aan die gewildheid van die eerste treffer, “Land van melk en heuning,” ‘n tipiese Bok testament van kragtige lirieke, ‘n dieper betekenis en iets wat trots aanwakker. Die CD was die top verkopende album in die land vir ses weke en “Land van melk en heuning” het die nommer 1 posisie op verskeie radiostasies se treffersparades gehaal. Die tweede treffer is die titelsnit self en het reeds die nommer 1 posisie behaal op verskeie stasies, insluitende beide Jacaranda FM se treffersparades, die Afrikaanse Top 20 en die Kia Top 20. Bok is mal daaroor om te toer en optredes te hou. Twee persoonlike hoogtepunte vir hom was die eerste Afrikaans Is Groot konsert in 2012 voor ‘n skare van 28 000 mense in Pretoria en die daaropvolgende jaar se Afrikaans Is Groot konserte in Pretoria en Kaapstad voor 70 000 mense. Die DVDs van die konserte het ook onderskeidelik dubbel platinum en platinum status bereik met laasgenoemde wat steeds van die winkelrakke afvlieg. Bok is ook ‘n direksielid van die Afrikaans Is Groot Bestuurskomitee en ‘n aktiewe lid van die Hanna Liefdadigheid- en Bemagtigingsorganisasie. Hy het ook reeds twee keer deelgeneem aan die Bikers for Mandela Day inisiatief. Bok glo vas daaraan dat bewonderaars nie altyd besef hoe baie hul lojaliteit en erkenning vir kunstenaars beteken nie. Juis daarom maak hy ‘n punt daarvan om met hulle te kommunikeer en op die hoogte te hou van waarmee hy besig is, hetsy by konserte of deur sosiale media. Daarvan getuig die meer as 120 000 volgelinge op Facebook en die meer as 68 000 Twitter volgelinge. Naas die bewonderaars, is Bok ook baie trots op sy assosiasie met borge soos Blaser, Sensation Boats, Samsung, Guvon Hotels, Titleist, The Dental Spa en Kingsley Heath en maak hy seker dat hulle gelukkig is met hul verhouding met hom. Bok is ook mal daaroor om saam met ander kunstenaars te werk en het reeds liedjies opgeneem saam met Steve Hofmeyr, Valiant Swart, Robbie Wessels en Die Heuwels Fantasties. Hy is ‘n gewilde persoonlikheid in die Suid-Afrikaanse media en verskyn gereeld in koerante, tydskrifte en aanlyn, asook op radio en TV. Op TV het Bok ook al as aanbieder verskyn op programme soos die eerste seisoen van Toks & Tjops, gasaanbieder van Jukebox en Bok vir Sports waarvan die nuwe seisoen in 2014 vervaardig sal word en vroeg in 2015 uitgesaai sal word. Bok het selfs sy stem dik gemaak op die radiogolwe en in Maart 2014 vir drie dae lank as Anna Visser se mede-aanbieder op OFM se Breakfast Special verskyn. Bok se belangstellings en stokperdjies sluit in, die buitelewe, diepseehengel, jag, gholf, die bosveld en braai. “Dis in my bloed. Ek geniet musiek maak. Geniet is miskien nie ‘n sterk genoeg woord nie. Ek is mal daaroor. Mal daaroor om te sien hoe mense aanklank vind by my lirieke, hoe hulle saamsing… mal daaroor om te hoor by my bewonderaars hoe ‘n liedjie hulle lewe geraak het of net hul gemoedstoestand gelig het. Ek voel geseënd om te kan sê ek geniet wat ek doen.” As jy op die hoogte wil bly van Bok van Blerk se planne en optredes, sluit gerus aan by hom op sosiale media: Twitter: @BokvanBlerkReal Facebook: Bok van Blerk Read More THEUNS JORDAAN THEUNS JORDAAN SINGER Persoonlike inligting:Theuns Jordaan is op 10 Januarie 1971 gebore en het op ‘n plaas naby Venterstad, 30km van Bethulie, grootgeword. In sy matriekjaar aan die Hoër Volkskool Graaff-Reinet het hy sy liefde vir rugby met ‘n kitaar begin deel. Ná skool is hy weermag toe, daarna na die Universiteit van Stellenbosch waar hy ‘n B.Ekon.-graad verwerf het. Dit was ook op Stellenbosch waar Theuns al meer begin sing het. Op 21 Oktober 1992 het hy vir die eerste keer voor ‘n gehoor in die kuierplek The Terrace opgetree met ‘n paar rand en ‘n pizza as enigste betaling. Met sy graad in die hand verruil Theuns in 1998 Stellenbosch vir Pretoria en by die KKNK van 2000 word sy debuutalbum, Vreemde Stad, vrygestel. Vreemde Stad word een van die suksesvolste debuut-albums nog ooit in Afrikaans met verkope wat reeds verby die 210 000-merk is.Die kitaarspeler Anton L’Amour begin gereeld saam met Theuns optree, ‘n samewerking wat vandag nog deel is van Theuns se loopbaan. In November 2005 word Seisoen vrygestel en hierdie keer is L’Amour in die regisseurstoel. Seisoen sorg ook vir rekordverkope met meer as 115 000 CD’s wat verkoop is. Theuns het dus met slegs drie albums verkope van meer as 500 000 behaal. In 2007 besluit Theuns om sy sewe jaar as professionele sanger op een album saam te vat. Grootste Treffers word in Maart vrygestel en verkoop byna 85 000 tot op datum. Op 28 Maart 2008 word Theuns en Juanita du Plessis se Bring Jou Hart op DVD vrygestel.

Die album se verkope was in Maart 2013 reeds by bykans 115 000, maar die handvol Ghoema-toekennings wat die album in April 2013 gewen het – onder meer vir album van die jaar - het beteken dat dit later die maand wéér op RSG se Top 20 was. Theuns is met sy diep rasperstem nie net ‘n uitstekende sanger nie, hy het ook deur die jare sy staal as liedjieskrywer gewys. Verskeie groot treffers – Soos Bloed, Jou Asem, Roeper van My Hart en Net Voor die Storm Kom om net ‘n paar te noem – is uit sy pen en daar is beslis nog ‘n paar wat wag om geskryf te word. Musiekloobpaan: Met die sukses van sy splinternuwe album,Roeper, en ook sy suksesvolle samewerking met Juanita du Plessis op hul nuwe DVD,Hart vol drome, het Theuns nou deel van die uitgelese miljoen-groep geword. “Dis natuurlik ‘n baie groot eer en meer as wat ek ooit verwag het,” sê Theuns. “My droom was nog altyd om die sanger te wees wat in die hoek van ‘n pub sit en sing. Om dus dié sukses te behaal is soveel groter as wat ek ooit gedink het dit sou wees.” Roeper, Theuns se vyfde solo-CD, het reeds goue status behaal voor dit nog op die rak was. Dit is tans nommer een op Musica se Top-20 en is ook die afgelope twee weke die nommereen-CD in die land volgens RSG se Top-20.

Twee van Theuns se vorige albums, Vreemde stad en Tjailatyd, het die 200 000-merk verbygesteek en Seisoen se verkope is meer as 110 000. Koue vuurhet meer as 100 000 eenhede verkoop en sy Grootste Treffers-album het meer as 80 000 verkoop.

Die album bestaan uit veertien snitte waarvan Theuns op tien die skrywer of mede-skrywer was. Een van die liedjies, Voor die storm kom, is reeds ‘n treffer, en die duet met Marta Gomez, die Spaans-Afrikaanse weergawe van Soos bloed, wys hoe ver Afrikaanse musiek kan strek. Die duet met Doctor Victor op die prettigeWie se kind is jy is ’n gunsteling onder aanhangers, maar dis veral die nuwe snitte soos Honger hart, Hartseer vir die reën en Bloutrein wat Theuns vestig as een van die beste sanger/liedjieskrywers in Afrikaans.Death AN ICONIC South African singer has passed away at 50 years old after battling leukemia.

Album #DisHoeOnsRol In 2013, he released a new solo album titled #DisHoeOnsRol WILLEM BOTHA WILLEM BOTHA SINGER Biography Willem Botha (born 17 April 1987) is a South African singer, actor, and music producer from Riversdale, Western Cape. He was the runner-up of the Afrikaanse Idols reality music show. Willem Botha Age He was born on April 17, 1987, in South Africa. As of 2024, he is 37 years old and celebrates his birthday on April 17th every year. Since 2006 he kissed Idols loyalists goodbye and since he hugged tens of thousands of his own fans with two award-winning albums and major movie, theatre and TV roles to boot. At 27 most young South Africa ns are happy with a qualification and, even better, a steady job to help build their dreams. At the same age Willem had just returned from Europe where he made history as the first Afrikaans artist ever to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest. He was part of the team competing for Belarus and made the final. 100 million viewers watched the final live in 44 different countries. A dream come true for Willem! He also performed in Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Luxemborg and Dubai to name a few. Never one to take any part of his multifaceted and highly decorated career for granted, Willem makes work of pushing himself, and his talent, to the edge of even bigger things. “I’m living my dream,” he acknowledges. “I’ve always known I have wanted to be more than just a musician. First and foremost I’m an entertainer, in every sense of the word.” Singer, dancer, actor and more recently songwriter, he is on another growth spurt, and the benefactors are the ever-increasing number of fans that share a love for world-class entertainment. To confirm that there’s plenty more where the last two albums came from, July 2012 marks the release of Willem’s latest, 14-track album. Offering a level of maturity and sophistication fans familiar with 2006’s ground-breaking debut, Ko^ Ma Hier, and 2010’s Se^ My Nou SAMA -nominated follow-up will relish, My Stem Is Joune is filled with bold progression. “I wrote Vat Oor By My Jesus, Breek Op In Stereo and co-wrote Sad Song, and I loved the entire process,” he says. “This album is a game changer for me. The songs are all incredibly strong thanks to the great team of talented songwriters Johan Oberholzer and Machiel Roets. Roets, best known for the hit single My Lewe Draai Om Jou (the title track from Liefling Die Movie) co-wrote Sad Song, and Oberholzer delivered eight songs, including the title track to Willem’s new hit-peppered fan collectable. Willem may already be successful, but he wakes every day, open and keen to embrace the industry that feeds his ever-evolving ability. Music is also just one facet of this multi-talented guy’s other gifts. Having made his movie debut in 2010’s Liefling, Die Movie (officially the most successful Afrikaans motion picture of all time) and followed up with his role in 2012’s Pretville. Mid 2011 he played a very emotional role in a musical about the Border War, TREE AAN, which ran for two sold out seasons. 2013 marks his breakthrough role and TV-debut in the drama, Donkerland, written by renowned Deon Opperman. Mid 2014 will mark his return to the theatre as the lead in the musical, Reik Na Die Sterre. “I do not believe in luck,” he says matter-of-factly. “You create your own. I work incredibly hard, every day, to find opportunities and work with great, like-minded people.” With time comes experience and maturity, two attributes Willem’s harnessing at every turn. “My vocal ability has grown and improved,” he responds when asked how My Stem Is Joune compares to his previous two releases. “The overall sound of every song is strong. The quality and production is also the best it’s ever been. I write about life, experiences I have lived through, so there is a level of honesty and integrity there that I am very proud of.” As far as the music he writes, sings and performs, hes not precious about any aspect. “I don’t mind what I sing,” he adds. “If people enjoy it, that is what makes me happy. ” Willem’s also no stranger to sharing stages with the likes of Steve Hofmeyr as guest artist on his Haloda DVD released in September 2012. “It’s always a great privilege to be invited to perform with the like of Steve,” he says. “I love performing live, and being on stage, that’s when I am in my element. That is where I am truly content.” A stickler for detail, and insisting that every aspect of what he touches is the best it possibly can be, Botha made it his business to influence every aspect of My Stem Is Joune – right down to the artwork that adorns the album sleeve. “We shot the cover on a horse farm outside Pretoria,” he shares. As a Springbok rider, he still makes time in his hectic schedule to ride at his horse-trainer brother’s school. “I grew up on a farm in Riversdal, so any opportunity I get back in touch with my roots I jump at it.” One spin of My Stem Is Joune will have long-time fans beaming that the best parts they’ve got to know and love about Willem Botha are all still very much intact. “I’ve even included a club mix of Breek Op In Stereo, as well as a three-song medley of songs from my debut, Ko^ Ma Hier,” he says. “I’ve been performing the medley at almost all of my shows. Now, for the first time, fans can take the experience home with them and play it, at full tilt, as often as they like.” He knows where his bread is buttered, making work and takes time to respond to every aspect of his social media reality. “I’m very active on Facebook and Twitter,” he points out. “If I have fans making the effort to talk to me, I look to return the favour. Since the early days on Idols I’ve been very active online. It’s a great way to stay in touch with the people who allow me to keep doing what I love.” Willem Botha may have already tasted success, but he is hungry for more, and even happier to prepare every meal himself along the way. “There is a great saying that I’ve adapted. It’s become something of a mantra for me, and sums up how I live my life. It goes something like this: ‘The elevator to dreams is broken, so I take the stairs.’” Between a family and good friends that all help to keep him grounded, through to strong management and a record label equally invested in his future, Willem Botha surrounds himself with talented people. “What I do is often filled with challenges,” he concludes. “ How many people get to do what I do? There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t stop and give thanks for every opportunity I get. Hopefully fans hear that in the songs, and more especially when I perform live and get to thank them in person.” Read More KARLIEN VAN JAARSVELD KARLIEN VAN JAARVELD SINGER Biografie Karlien van Jaarsveld is die oudste van 3 kinders.

Read More DEWALD WASSERFALL BACK TO TOP DEWALD WASSERFALL SINGER Biografie Vir amper 20 jaar al is Dewald Wasserfall se wêreld so te sê oorheers deur musiek, en oor die afgelope dekade het hy in ’n suksesvolle en hoogs gerespekteerde sanger en liedjieskrywer ontpop. Liedjies skryf is in sy bloed. Op die jong ouderdom van 12 het Dewald alreeds sy eerste liedjie geskryf. Ná matriek het hy sy talent na die destydse Pretoria Technikon geneem en sy algemene bekwaamheid verder geslyp deur ’n diploma in vermaaklikheidstegnologie te verwerf. Dubbeld gekwalifiseer, beide op papier en met loutere talent, het hy die volgende vier jaar sy groep Wasserfall gelei, en twee albums, insluitende die treffers Suikerbos en All About Me, vrygestel – onderwyl hy liedjies geskryf het vir sommige van Suid- Afrika se grootste sterre, soos Jay, Karlien van Jaarsveld, Bok van Blerk en Lianie May. “My grootste vyand is ek self,” lag hy. “Ek kan nie stilsit nie. Wanneer ek nie slaap nie, hol ek rond en voeg verkieslik nuwe idees en kleure by my progressiewe musieksmaak.” Sedert 2010 bou Dewald aan ’n suksesvolle solo-loopbaan. Hierdie perfeksionis, professioneel tot die murg toe, het twee jaar lank aan sy langverwagte solo-debuut, 2012 se Vergeet Wat Jy Weet Van Liefde, saam met medeskrywers en tydgenote Johan Vorster en Ewald Coleske, gewerk. Beide die titelsnit, Vergeet Wat Jy Weet Van Liefde en die tweede enkelsnit, Eendag As Ons Groot Is het die nommer 1 posisie op verskeie radiostasies reg oor die land bereik. Tydens 2013 se Innibos Kunstefees in Nelspruit is Dewald voor 30 000 mense op die hoofverhoog verras met die feit dat sy album goue status bereik het en hy is ook daar en dan uitgenooi om deel te wees van die Afrikaans Is Groot-konsert. Intussen het hierdie album platinum status bereik vir verkope van meer as 40 000. 2014 merk die uitreik van sy tweede solo album getiteld, #EkEnJy, wat reeds binne drie maande goue status bereik het. Die 15-snit album met sy eiesoortige lirieke en melodie wat Dewald se stempel afdruk saam met skrywer Christoph Kotzé en die bekroonde Johan Vorster. “Ek is deesdae baie gefokus op my eie materiaal,” vertel hy. “Soveel so dat ek gesnoei het aan die tyd wat ek deurbring om saam met vriende en medekunstenaars te skryf, en in die laaste tyd eerder daardie energie in my eie werk probeer inploeg.” Om ’n bietjie selfsugtig te wees blyk om hom in die proses meer vrygewig te maak – sy waarderende aanhangers vind immers baat daarby. Vergeet Wat Jy Weet Van Liefde is liries gelaai en melodies ryk, en trek steeds nuwe aanhangers aan elke keer wanneer Dewald die lang pad met sy musiek aandurf. ’n Bonus vir ou bewonderaars is die insluiting van die lewendige gunsteling, My Hart Se Hongersnood, op die album. Karlien van Jaarsveld het ook haar stem tot die onmisbare applouswekkende snit gevoeg, wat dit tot ’n hele nuwe vlak van genot neem. 2014 merk die suksesverhaal van sy loopbaan en hy was ook weer te sien by Afrikaans Is Groot – Die Konsert in beide Pretoria en Kaapstad. “Ek’s trots Afrikaans,” sê hy. Hy besef dat sy aanhangers regoor die land nie net totaal toegewyd is aan waar hy vandaan kom nie, maar ook selfs nog meer belê in waarheen hy op pad is .In April 2013 het hy ook die gesogte Beste Nuweling toekenning by die Ghoema Afrikaanse Musiektoekennings ingepalm. Hy is ook genomineer vir nie minder as drie Huisgenoot Tempo toekennings – Nuweling van die Jaar, Beste Kontemporêre Album en Beste Musiekvideo waar hy ook met die Tempo vir Nuweling van die Jaar weggestap het. Pop, rock, akoesties of melodies – elke beskrywing van Dewald Wasserfall se sterkpunte, en hoe en waar hy sy musiek sien inpas, is allermins meer of minder gegrond op een spesifieke genre. “My materiaal is uniek,” beklemtoon hy. Wat #EkEnJy selfs meer boeiend maak vir nuwe en jarelange getroues, is Dewald se aandag aan detail en sy fokus daarop om slegs die mees uitmuntende vervaardigingswaardes tot sy skeppings te voeg. “Kwaliteit is die sleutel,” bevestig hy. “Gehore kan en moet krities en veeleisend wees. As ’n musiekliefhebber weet ek ék is, en dit is iets wat ek waardeer. Ek wil my beste werk lewer, elke keer, in antwoord daarop. Om terwyl hy toer kennis te maak met die mense wat na ’n Dewald Wasserfall vertoning kom kyk, is een van die baie aspekte wat hy geniet, te midde van ’n leefstyl wat soveel vereis van kreatiewes. “Ja, ek bring baie tyd deur op toer,” gee hy toe, “maar al is dit moeilik om vêr van die huis te wees vir lang tye op ’n slag, stroom die beloning aand ná aand in. Ek kry soveel bevestiging, elke dag, dat wat ek doen mense aanraak – op ’n vlak wat my inspireer om vol te hou om die beste, mees genotvolle en onvergeetlike musiek moontlik te maak.” Aanhangers ondersteun Dewald, die wenner van vele toekennings, steeds as ’n kunstenaar wat applous en bewondering verdien. “Ek weet nie mooi hoe ek doen wat ek doen nie,” sluit hy af, “maar ek is ongelooflik dankbaar vir elke aspek van my lewe. Dit gee my die geleentheid om al die gunste wat aan my bewys is, terug te gee elke keer as ek opstaan om op te tree.” Read More BACK TO TOP

The term country music gained popularity in the 1940s in preference to hillbilly music; it came to encompass Western music, which evolved parallel to hillbilly music from similar roots, in the mid-20th century. In 2009, in the United States, country music was the most listened to rush hour radio genre during the evening commute, and second most popular in the morning commute. The term country music is used today to describe many styles and subgenres. The origins of country music are found in the folk music of working class Americans and blue-collar American life. It has been inspired by American popular music, and American folk music which had its roots in Celtic music, early music of the British Isles, singing cowboys, corrido, ranchera, norteño, French folk music, African-American music, and other traditional folk music traditions. The main components of the modern country music style date back to music traditions throughout the Southern United States and Southwestern United States, while its place in American popular music was established in the 1920s during the early days of music recording ,Country music was "introduced to the world as a Southern phenomenon." Immigrants to the southern Appalachian Mountains, of the Southeastern United States, brought the folk music and instruments of Europe, Africa, and the Mediterranean Basin along with them for nearly 300 years, which developed into Appalachian music. As the country expanded westward, the Mississippi River and Louisiana became a crossroads for country music, giving rise to Cajun music. In the Southwestern United States, it was the Rocky Mountains, American frontier, and Rio Grande that acted as a similar backdrop for Native American, Mexican, and cowboy ballads, which resulted in New Mexico music and the development of Western music, and its directly related Red Dirt, Texas country, and Tejano music styles. The U.S. Congress has formally recognized Bristol, Tennessee as the "Birthplace of Country Music", based on the historic Bristol recording sessions of 1927. Since 2014, the city has been home to the Birthplace of Country Music Museum.Historians have also noted the influence of the less-known Johnson City sessions of 1928 and 1929,and the Knoxville sessions of 1929 and 1930. In addition, the Mountain City Fiddlers Convention, held in 1925, helped to inspire modern country music. Before these, pioneer settlers, in the Great Smoky Mountains region, had developed a rich musical heritage The first generation emerged in the 1920s, with Atlanta's music scene playing a major role in launching country's earliest recording artists. James Gideon "Gid" Tanner (1885–1960) was an American old-time fiddler and one of the earliest stars of what would come to be known as country music. His band, the Skillet Lickers, was one of the most innovative and influential string bands of the 1920s and 1930s. Its most notable members were Clayton McMichen (fiddle and vocal), Dan Hornsby (vocals), Riley Puckett (guitar and vocal) and Robert Lee Sweat (guitar). New York City record label Okeh Records began issuing hillbilly music records by Fiddlin' John Carson as early as 1923, followed by Columbia Records (series 15000D "Old Familiar Tunes") (Samantha Bumgarner) in 1924, and RCA Victor Records in 1927 with the first famous pioneers of the genre Jimmie Rodgers and the first family of country music the Carter Family. Many "hillbilly" musicians, such as Cliff Carlisle, recorded blues songs throughout the 1920s. JUANITA DU PLESSIS During the second generation (1930s–1940s), radio became a popular source of entertainment, and "barn dance" shows featuring country music were started all over the South, as far north as Chicago, and as far west as California. The most important was the Grand Ole Opry, aired starting in 1925 by WSM in Nashville and continuing to the present day. During the 1930s and 1940s, cowboy songs, or Western music, which had been recorded since the 1920s, were popularized by films made in Hollywood, many featuring the king of the "singing cowboys", Gene Autry. Bob Wills was another country musician from the Lower Great Plains who had become very popular as the leader of a "hotstring band," and who also appeared in Hollywood westerns. His mix of country and jazz, which started out as dance hall music, would become known as Western swing. Wills was one of the first country musicians known to have added an electric guitar to his band, in 1938. Country musicians began recording boogie in 1939, shortly after it had been played at Carnegie Hall, when Johnny Barfield recorded "Boogie Woogie". The Legends of South Africa Singers The third generation (1950s–1960s) started at the end of World War II with "mountaineer" string band music known as bluegrass, which emerged when Bill Monroe, along with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs were introduced by Roy Acuff at the Grand Ole Opry. Gospel music remained a popular component of country music. Another type of stripped-down and raw music with a variety of moods, became popular among poor communities in New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas; the basic ensemble consisted of classical guitar, bass guitar, dobro or steel guitar, though some larger ensembles featured electric guitars, trumpets, keyboards (especially the honky-tonk piano, a type of tack piano), banjos, and drums. This sound had its roots in the Native American, Hispano, and American frontier music of the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico, including Western, honky tonk, ranchera, and corrido. By the early 1950s a blend of Western swing, country boogie, and honky tonk was played by most country bands. Rockabilly was most popular with country fans in the 1950s, and 1956 could be called the year of rockabilly in country music, with Johnny Cash emerging as one of the most popular and enduring representatives of the rockabilly genre; rockabilly was also a starting point for eventual rock-and-roll superstar Elvis Presley, who would return to his country roots near the end of his life. Beginning in the mid-1950s, and reaching its peak during the early 1960s, the Nashville sound turned country music into a multimillion-dollar industry centered in Nashville, Tennessee; Patsy Cline and Jim Reeves were two of the most broadly popular Nashville sound artists, and their deaths in separate plane crashes in the early 1960s were a factor in the genre's decline. Starting in the early 1950s, and during the mid-1960s, Western singer-songwriters such as Michael Martin Murphey and Marty Robbins rose in prominence as did others, throughout Western music traditions, like New Mexico music's Al Hurricane. The late 1960s in American music produced a unique blend as a result of traditionalist backlash within separate genres. In the aftermath of the British Invasion, many desired a return to the "old values" of rock n' roll. At the same time there was a lack of enthusiasm in the country sector for Nashville-produced music. What resulted was a crossbred genre known as country rock. Fourth generation (1970s–1980s) music included outlaw country with roots in the Bakersfield sound, and country pop with roots in the countrypolitan, folk music and soft rock. Between 1972 and 1975 singer/guitarist John Denver released a series of hugely successful songs blending country and folk-rock musical styles. By the mid-1970s, Texas country and Tejano music gained popularity with performers like Freddie Fender. During the early 1980s country artists continued to see their records perform well on the pop charts. In 1980 a style of "neocountry disco music" was popularized. During the mid-1980s a group of new artists began to emerge who rejected the more polished country-pop sound that had been prominent on radio and the charts in favor of more traditional "back-to-basics" production; this neotraditional movement would dominate country music through the late 1980s and was typified by the likes of George Strait. Attempts to combine punk and country were pioneered by Jason and the Scorchers, and in the 1980s Southern Californian cowpunk scene with bands like the Long Ryders and Mojo Nixon. During the fifth generation (1990s), country music became a worldwide phenomenon. Two types of artists enjoyed mainstream popularity: neotraditionalists such as Alan Jackson, and the more broadly popular stadium country acts, in particular Garth Brooks. The Chicks became one of the most popular country bands in the 1990s and early 2000s. The sixth generation (2000s–present) has seen a certain amount of diversification in regard to country music styles. It has also, however, seen a shift into patriotism and conservative politics since the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks, but twenty years later, many are saying the genre is finally starting to move away from that.The influence of rock music in country has become more overt during the late 2000s and early 2010s. Most of the best-selling country songs of this era were in the country pop genre, such as those by Lady Antebellum, Florida Georgia Line, Carrie Underwood, Trixie Mattel, Orville Peck and Taylor Swift.Hip hop also made its mark on country music with the emergence of country rap The first commercial recordings of what was considered instrumental music in the traditional country style were "Arkansas Traveler" and "Turkey in the Straw" by fiddlers Henry Gilliland & A.C. (Eck) Robertson on June 30, 1922, for Victor Records and released in April 1923.Columbia Records began issuing records with "hillbilly" music (series 15000D "Old Familiar Tunes") as early as 1924. The first commercial recording of what is widely considered to be the first country song featuring vocals and lyrics was Fiddlin' John Carson with "Little Log Cabin in the Lane" for Okeh Records on June 14, 1923. was the first country singer to have a nationwide hit in May 1924 with "Wreck of the Old 97".The flip side of the record was "Lonesome Road Blues", which also became very popular. In April 1924, "Aunt" Samantha Bumgarner and Eva Davis became the first female musicians to record and release country songs. Many "hillbilly" musicians, such as Cliff Carlisle, recorded blues songs throughout the decade and into the 1930s. Other important early recording artists were Riley Puckett, Don Richardson, Fiddlin' John Carson, Uncle Dave Macon, Al Hopkins, Ernest V. Stoneman, Blind Alfred Reed, Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers and the Skillet Lickers.The steel guitar entered country music as early as 1922, when Jimmie Tarlton met famed Hawaiian guitarist Frank Ferera on the West Coast. Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family are widely considered to be important early country musicians. From Scott County, Virginia, the Carters had learned sight reading of hymnals and sheet music using solfege.Their songs were first captured at a historic recording session in Bristol, Tennessee, on August 1, 1927, where Ralph Peer was the talent scout and sound recordist.A scene in the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? depicts a similar occurrence in the same timeframe. Rodgers fused hillbilly country, gospel, jazz, blues, pop, cowboy, and folk, and many of his best songs were his compositions, including "Blue Yodel",which sold over a million records and established Rodgers as the premier singer of early country music. Beginning in 1927, and for the next 17 years, the Carters recorded some 300 old-time ballads, traditional tunes, country songs and gospel hymns, all representative of America's southeastern folklore and heritage. Derived from the traditional Western, including Red Dirt, New Mexico, Texas country, Tejano, and honky-tonk musical styles of the late 1950s and 1960s. Songs such as the 1963 Johnny Cash popularized "Ring of Fire" show clear influences from the likes of Al Hurricane and Little Joe, this influence just happened to culminate with artists such as Ray Price (whose band, the "Cherokee Cowboys", included Willie Nelson and Roger Miller) and mixed with the anger of an alienated subculture of the nation during the period, outlaw country revolutionized the genre of country music."After I left Nashville (the early 70s), I wanted to relax and play the music that I wanted to play, and just stay around Texas, maybe Oklahoma. Waylon and I had that outlaw image going, and when it caught on at colleges and we started selling records, we were O.K. The whole outlaw thing, it had nothing to do with the music, it was something that got written in an article, and the young people said, 'Well, that's pretty cool.' And started listening." (Willie Nelson)The term outlaw country is traditionally associated with Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker,Hank Williams, Jr., Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings and Joe Ely.It was encapsulated in the 1976 album Wanted! The Outlaws. Many Western and Outlaw country music artists maintained their popularity during the 1980s by forming supergroups, such as The Highwaymen,Texas Tornados, and Bandido. Country pop Main article: Country pop Country pop or soft pop, with roots in the countrypolitan sound, folk music, and soft rock, is a subgenre that first emerged in the 1970s. Although the term first referred to country music songs and artists that crossed over to top 40 radio, country pop acts are now more likely to cross over to adult contemporary music. It started with pop music singers like Glen Campbell, Bobbie Gentry, John Denver, Olivia Newton-John, Anne Murray, B. J. Thomas, the Bellamy Brothers, and Linda Ronstadt having hits on the country charts. Between 1972 and 1975, singer/guitarist John Denver released a series of hugely successful songs blending country and folk-rock musical styles ("Rocky Mountain High", "Sunshine on My Shoulders", "Annie's Song", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", and "I'm Sorry"), and was named Country Music Entertainer of the Year in 1975. The year before, Olivia Newton-John, an Australian pop singer, won the "Best Female Country Vocal Performance" as well as the Country Music Association's most coveted award for females, "Female Vocalist of the Year". In response George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Jean Shepard and other traditional Nashville country artists dissatisfied with the new trend formed the short-lived "Association of Country Entertainers" in 1974; the ACE soon unraveled in the wake of Jones and Wynette's bitter divorce and Shepard's realization that most others in the industry lacked her passion for the movement. During the mid-1970s, Dolly Parton, a successful mainstream country artist since the late 1960s, mounted a high-profile campaign to cross over to pop music, culminating in her 1977 hit "Here You Come Again", which topped the U.S. country singles chart, and also reached No. 3 on the pop singles charts. Parton's male counterpart, Kenny Rogers, came from the opposite direction, aiming his music at the country charts, after a successful career in pop, rock and folk music with the First Edition, achieving success the same year with "Lucille", which topped the country charts and reached No. 5 on the U.S. pop singles charts, as well as reaching Number 1 on the British all-genre chart. Parton and Rogers would both continue to have success on both country and pop charts simultaneously, well into the 1980s. Country music propelled Kenny Rogers’ career, making him a three-time Grammy Award winner and six-time Country Music Association Awards winner. Having sold more than 50 million albums in the US, one of his Song "The Gambler," inspired multiple TV movies, with Rogers as the main character. Artists like Crystal Gayle, Ronnie Milsap and Barbara Mandrell would also find success on the pop charts with their records. In 1975, author Paul Hemphill stated in the Saturday Evening Post, "Country music isn't really country anymore; it is a hybrid of nearly every form of popular music in America." During the early 1980s, country artists continued to see their records perform well on the pop charts. Willie Nelson and Juice Newton each had two songs in the top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100 in the early eighties: Nelson charted "Always on My Mind" (No. 5, 1982) and "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" (No. 5, 1984, a duet with Julio Iglesias), and Newton achieved success with "Queen of Hearts" (No. 2, 1981) and "Angel of the Morning" (No. 4, 1981). Four country songs topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the 1980s: "Lady" by Kenny Rogers, from the late fall of 1980; "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton, "I Love a Rainy Night" by Eddie Rabbitt (these two back-to-back at the top in early 1981); and "Islands in the Stream", a duet by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers in 1983, a pop-country crossover hit written by Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees. Newton's "Queen of Hearts" almost reached No. 1, but was kept out of the spot by the pop ballad juggernaut "Endless Love" by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie.The move of country music toward neotraditional styles led to a marked decline in country/pop crossovers in the late 1980s, and only one song in that period—Roy Orbison's "You Got It", from 1989—made the top 10 of both the Billboard Hot Country Singles" and Hot 100 charts, due largely to a revival of interest in Orbison after his sudden death.The only song with substantial country airplay to reach number one on the pop charts in the late 1980s was "At This Moment" by Billy Vera and the Beaters, an R&B song with slide guitar embellishment that appeared at number 42 on the country charts from minor crossover airplay. The record-setting, multi-platinum group Alabama was named Artist of the Decade for the 1980s by the Academy of Country Music.
