Country Rock

Country Rock: 66 upcoming festivals, including 19 with tickets on sale.

Country Rock blends the twang of country with the driving energy of rock, characterized by prominent electric guitars, often with a steel guitar or banjo, and a relaxed yet rhythmic feel. Emerging in the late 1960s and early 1970s, it originated as rock musicians began incorporating country elements, creating a distinct fusion that also influenced a branch of "outlaw music" from country artists. Iconic artists like Neil Young and the Eagles are prime examples of the genre's enduring appeal. This hybrid style significantly broadened the appeal of both country and rock music, paving the way for future Americana sounds.
