Hi world! For my first post, I'm going to let you all in on the biggest underground trend in the East Bay music scene--so bigly underground that no one else has noticed except me.

The year 2022 was a pretty, pretty good year for Oakland-based #altcountry bands. And not just normal, run-of-the-mill, dudes-in-flannel-covering-Johnny Cash alt-country. I mean fans of country music working outside the system and mashing it up with other genres in unexpected ways. #EastBayMusic
