Americana Music

I've been a fan of Romantica, Deer Tick, Dawes, Middle Brother, Delta Spirit, Justin Townes Earle, etc. for a while. I'm not sure I'd group them as "American music," per se, but they aren't quite country and they aren't rock. Maybe Southern rock? That's not really true, either. They are gritty tunes, great tunes with solid songwriting and music.

I'm listening to William Elliott Whitmore today, and I discovered him on Paste. He certainly fits in this category. He's playing at the Red Palace on July 24...perhaps I can convince someone to go?
