Four Stages of Music at El Dorado County Fair Placerville, CA – Are you a little bit country and a little bit rock ‘n roll? El Dorado County Fair has that to offer and so much more! With so many stages and genres, El Dorado County Fair is sure to have just what you are looking for. Thursday’s Lineup Stevie Nicks & Fleetwood Mac Tribute featuring Halie O’Ryan—Listening to Halie perform Stevie Nicks with your eyes closed makes it easy to believe that you are listening to Stevie herself. “Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above?” Halie brings oodles of energy and happiness to the stage. Experience the magic of this tribute to Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac, Thursday night at El Dorado County Fair on the Budweiser Community Stage. South 65 is a solid, country/rock, kickabilly band of seasoned musicians and longtime friends. They are a bit of an anomaly due to varying influences and experience, there is almost no song they don’t know or can’t play. They amaze audiences with their penchant for accepting song requests and wow crowds in the process. How many bands can handle a request to play an Alice in Chains tune and then an old Elvis song? Pocket Change is a three-piece band featuring guitar, mandolin and double bass playing Americana, bluegrass, rockabilly and traditional country.

  • Folk Blues Roots Rock Alt Country Reggae World Music Jazz Folk
    So just who listens to WKZE? Not an easy question to answer, really. Because the listenership is as broad and diverse as the music itself. To put it in its simplest possible terms: upscale, inde- pendent-minded, college-educated professionals. What kind of professionals? People like doctors, law- yers, teachers, contractors, and business owners. But in some ways that does not do the audience justice, because many more people than that listen. People Now playing: who have moved here from the city listen, as 98.1 KZE represents all that is good about being in the Folk country and away from the hub-bub of the city. Musi- Blues cians listen, because music is a high interest category Roots for them. Artists listen, because they also love the wide array of thought-provoking music we play. Peo- Rock ple listen who are tired of hearing the same few songs Alt country over and over and over again, because they want to be Reggae stimulated with something new and different. World Music Jazz And just what kind of music is it that’s so new and different? Again, not an easy question to answer. Folk Rock WKZE plays acoustic and roots music of all kinds, Bluegrass including folk, americana and alt country; rock from Newgrass artists both known and unknown, recent and from Local Music days gone by; local music; reggae, xydeco and world Oldies music; blues, bluegrass and jazz; in fact, just about any kind of music you can think of, except classical. Zydeco The mix is truly eclectic.

  • Antimodernism and Genre from Country-Rock to Alt.Country, 1968-98
    Antimodernism and Genre from Country-Rock to Alt.Country, 1968-98 Jason Bianchi Kirby San Jose, California B.A. Sociology and Literature, University of California—Santa Cruz, 2002 M.A. American Culture Studies, Bowling Green State University, 2006 A dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia August 2016 Abstract This dissertation is a cultural history exploring expressions of and responses to antimodernism within country-rock and “alternative country” music, drawing on reception history, intellectual history of underground and mainstream left-wing American political movements, interview discourse with artists, and close readings of songs. In this dissertation I argue that despite styling itself as a type of purer root or “folk” form of contemporary country music, in terms of its ideologies, studio production techniques, fan and critical discourse, and business practices, alt.country is a type of rock music. It embodies some of rock’s core beliefs, particularly rock’s critique of the more bureaucratic and “rationalized” dimensions of postindustrial capitalism, particularly as this relates to the everyday impact of new technologies. I argue that this anti-modernism, emerging here from the American political left, has been different in different eras, from the back-to-the-land movement of the late 1960s, to late- ‘80s/early-‘90s expressions of left populist punk’s longing for “folk” community. In this project I look beyond contemporary scholarly understandings of alt.country as mostly ironic, as ultimately I suggest that this music illustrates what Keir Keightley calls rock’s aesthetic of “seriousness,” more precisely than it does an understanding of country music ideology.
