Bristol Goes Country

A live concert in Bristol at O2 Academy Bristol by Bristol Goes Country, an act whose music draws on blues, country and folk.

Bristol Goes Country is a concert built around blues, country and folk, three styles that grew out of American vernacular music in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Blues is rooted in African American song traditions, while country and folk drew on the rural traditions of the United States and the British Isles.

The performance takes place at O2 Academy Bristol, a venue in the city that hosts concerts and shows. The night will suit listeners who follow these traditions and want to hear them performed live in a single evening, as each style has its own songwriting and performing conventions and the evening moves between them.
