Don Campbell – Doncampbellmusic.Com Don Campbell Music a National Winner of the True Value/Colgate Country Showdown at The Don Campbell – doncampbellmusic.com Don Campbell Music A national winner of the True Value/Colgate Country Showdown at the Grand Ole Opry and named Maine’s Best Singer-Songwriter from 2004-2009 in the Maine Sunday Telegram Readers’ Poll, Don Campbell and the Don Campbell Band & Trio entertain audiences of all ages with their charismatic blend of adult contemporary, country and rock music. With world- class vocals and boy-next-door charm, Don has opened for Willie Nelson, Toby Keith (Gillette Stadium), American Idol winner Carrie Underwood (Jeff Gordon Foundation Fundraiser), Randy Travis and many other country greats. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter, Don’s fresh but familiar voice has taken him from his hometown of Scarborough, Maine to his second home in Nashville, Tennessee -- and well beyond. Averaging over 150 performances each year, Don has built a fan base and mailing list of over 9000 homes, and continues to grow his music and music business with his wife, bass player and marketing manager, Tonya Shevenell; and in the company of good friends and band members, Andy Happel, Sean Daniels and Sumner McKane. When speaking of songwriting influences, Don cites Dan Fogelberg, Vince Gill, the Beatles, the Celtic and Canadian Maritimes roots music of his family, and another fellow Maine native, writer Stephen King. “I strongly believe that Stephen King’s On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, should be required reading for any songwriter. As a songwriter, continuing to grow as a storyteller is so important. I learn every day, and On Writing is one of the most influential and inspirational books I’ve read on the subject.” A new CD, American Garage, was released in 2008. The music collection showcases Don's talents as a songwriter, singer and musician like no prior project, dialing back the country flavor a notch to let his contemporary folk-rock side surface. "American Garage is full of lush imagery that's made all the more vivid by Campbell's buttery- smooth tenor...like his voice, Campbell's playing paints images. There's the intricate picking on 'Beautiful Rain' that's reminiscent of soft rain melodically bouncing off the roof on a rainy night. On 'Finding Your Way Home', Campbell's layered guitar work, combined with beautiful harmony vocals, reassuringly takes the listener on a soul-searching journey through the uncertainties of life." - April Boyle Music Review in Maine Sunday Telegram Don will release two additional CD collections in 2009, including a family project featuring his father and uncles and the music he grew up with and a new Christmas CD.

  • Voices in the Hall: Sam Bush (Part 1) Episode Transcript
    VOICES IN THE HALL: SAM BUSH (PART 1) EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. Today’s guest is a pioneer of New-grass music, Sam Bush. SAM BUSH When I first started playing, my dad had these fiddle albums. And I loved to listen to them. And then realized that one of the things I liked about them was the sound of the fiddle and the mandolin playing in unison together. And that’s when it occurred to me that I was trying on the mandolin to note it like a fiddle player notes. Then I discovered Bluegrass and the great players like Bill Monroe of course. You can specifically trace Bluegrass music to the origins. That it was started by Bill Monroe after he and his brother had a duet of mandolin and guitar for so many years, the Monroe Brothers. And then when he started his band, we're just fortunate that he was from the state of Kentucky, the Bluegrass State. And that's why they called them The Bluegrass Boys. And lo and behold we got Bluegrass music out of it. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall, with Sam Bush. “Callin’ Baton Rouge” – New Grass Revival (Best Of / Capitol) PETER COOPER “Callin’ Baton Rouge," by the New Grass Revival. That song was a prime influence on Garth Brooks, who later recorded it. Now, New Grass Revival’s founding member, Sam Bush, is a mandolin revolutionary whose virtuosity and broad- minded approach to music has changed a bunch of things for the better.

  • Austin's Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation
    Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978 Travis David Stimeling A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal, Chair Jon W. Finson David García Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer © 2007 Travis David Stimeling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT TRAVIS DAVID STIMELING: “Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978” (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) The progressive country music movement developed in Austin, Texas, during the early 1970s as a community of liberal young musicians and concertgoers with strong interests in Texan country music traditions and contemporary rock music converged on the city. Children of the Cold War and the post-World War II migration to the suburbs, these “cosmic cowboys” sought to get back in touch with their rural roots and to leave behind the socially conservative world their parents had created for them. As a hybrid of country music and rock, progressive country music both encapsulated the contradictions of the cosmic cowboys in song and helped to create a musical sanctuary in which these youths could articulate their difference from mainstream Texan culture. Examining the work of the movement’s singer-songwriters (Michael Murphey, Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn), western swing revivalists (Asleep at the Wheel, Alvin Crow and the Pleasant Valley Boys), and commercial country singers (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings), this dissertation explores the proliferation of stock imagery, landscape painting, and Texan stereotypes in progressive country music and their role in the construction of Austin’s difference.
