Americana (also known as American roots music) is an amalgam of American music formed by the confluence of the shared and varied traditions that make up the musical ethos of the United States, specifically those sounds that are emerged from the Southern United States such as folk, gospel, blues, country, jazz, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, bluegrass, and other external influences.
@americana Look me up on Spotify (https://sptfy.com/OsrY), Apple, Amazon or wherever you listen. I released a song called “Damn Near Died Today” that was named a Finalist in the 2023 Great American Song Contest. Let me know what you think.
If you like what you hear, I have a new single coming out August 4 called “Ain’t Heaven Yet” you can pre-save here: https://ditto.fm/aint-heaven-yet.
@americana If you’re still onboard the JWH train at this point, you can toss me a vote in the Opening Act contest here: https://theopenact.com/2023/john-ward-hocter. You can vote free each day, or you can make a donation to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and get one vote per dollar donated. Honestly I don’t have much of a chance to win but it is a worthy cause and I’d appreciate your vote.
Thanks for reading/listening/voting!
