Last week, we shared stories regarding much of mainstream country music's history or racism and the erasure of Black contributions. Today, we encourage you to explore the Black Opry to see how young African-American artists are helping to reshape country music. #BlackOpry #countrymusic #blackroots

Here is a link to the so far confirmed acts for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 2023 to give you a better idea of the diaspora of music. Valerie June is awesome, but already very well known. You can go back to other years, it's quite a thing.

We're lucky here on the left coast that there is a huge free music festival in late September in SF, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Started by Warren Hellman and friends. His estate has kept it going. 3 days of all kinds of music, Black roots / americana is a staple. Check out their video feeds.
