Well folks Jason Galaz has been talking about it and promoting this documentary
\nfor some time now. It follows and features the growing subculture scene of
\nan underground movement of various types of music the venues that they play at
\nand one of the rapidly growing festivals that breed it The Muddy Roots Music Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I learned about it all during the “Myspace Era” and some say it was brought out by
\nWayne Hancock, Hank 3, or Split Lip Rayfield.
\nHell, everybody has their OWN opinion and answer for who really
\nforefathered it.
\nI don’t have an answer for you I ONLY HAVE coverage of most of the artists
\ninvolved. Now I have said this before and I say it once again..
\nI AM a member of NO scene nor do I align myself with ANY group but the
\nMuddy Roots people are good to me, and some of them are my best friends.
\nThere isn’t too many of them I have ever had bad vibes with.<\/p>\n

FROM THE WEBSITE
\nard Soil traces the history and evolution of American Roots music and examines its social
\nand cultural relevance in the 21st century.
\nNowhere is America’s cultural evolution and diversity as palpable as in the music of the people \u2013 folk music or alternately roots music, a collective term encompassing a variety of musical styles from
\nBluegrass, to Blues and from Country to Gospel.
\nToday a wild and vibrant subculture of musicians has begun to infuse these musical styles
\nwith the sounds of the 21st century keeping the evolution of American Roots music an ongoing
\none and one that is not only heard in the land of Lincoln but across the globe. To many it has
\nnot only become the soundtrack to their lives – it has become a way of life.<\/p>\n

I myself think the main reason I admire the festival so much is because these
\npeople are like me…they are deeply passionate about tradition and history.
\nFolks, these people admire and uphold those that built the foundations of
\nall the styles of music.
\nI have seen these people love on Little Jimmy Dickens, Black Flag, Dr.
\nRalph Stanly, Red Simpson and the list could go on and on.<\/p>\n

I also admire Mr. Jason a lot, he certainly does not run things from
\na couch. He’s OUT THERE in the middle of it all busting his ass for
\na dream.
\nHe is a prime example of American pursuit of an empire much like I
\nconsider doing. Good fortune comes with hard work and I do not care who
\ndisagrees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
