Two kinds of music in the South: Country AND Western… right? WRONG.

Take a chance. For example: I recently discovered the amazing Florida band – the Pool Kids – by scrolling local shows happening within a 100 mile radius and picking out the only act not prominently feature a cowboy hat motif.

I understand sometimes it’s easy to stop listening to music in your hey day (high school?) Radio isn’t the fount of exclusive knowledge it used to be. Let me be your cool, knowledgeable friend.
