Terri Clark = Eric Berto Alan Jackson = Angel Orta Billy Bob = Joe Keith Urban = Erick Bahena **__Preliminary Research__:** Although musicians had been recording fiddle tunes (known as Old Time Music at that time) in the southern Appalachians for several years, It wasn't until August 1, 1927 in Bristol, Tennessee, that Country Music really began.One of the most popular forms of contemporary music is country music, which found its humble beginnings in the early 1920s when folk music was taken one step further. Those who claimed fame, (mostly from the Appalachians) for having introduced folk music to the nation were now in the first quarter of the twentieth century introducing a slightly more sophisticated styling of the ‘hillbilly’ sound already made popular. In the eighty plus years of country music history, its sound and style has changed dramatically, at least in some respects. In its earliest years, it was the honky-tonk sound from the likes of Ernest Tubb and Hank Williams that made up the genre of country music. Roadside pubs and meeting houses throughout Oklahoma and Texas were packed every Friday and Saturday evening with fans and curiosity seekers alike, anxious to listen to the fast-rising sounds of steel guitars and drums.

__**Assignment 1: Erick Bahena**__ Our Band name is: Rodeo Revival.

__**Assignment 2: Band Biography : Erick Bahena.**__

Before forming the band Rodeo Revival We’all had our own little things going. Billy Bob (our lead singer) born and raised in Texas was out workin’ in the farms with his Daddy since he was a little boy but it wasn’t till awhile till he picked up a guitar. Keith Urban Born and raised in Australia, New Zealand started playing guitar at the age of 6 and knew by 7 he was going to be headed to Nashville Music city. Playing guitar at a young age he had serious talent for it. He later became a guitarist in a band called The Ranch. And then went out to make Solo Albums. Terri Clark and Billy Bob were cousins so when they were teenagers they suddenly got an interest in country rock n roll and decided to pick up their guitars at the ages of 14 and 16 and learned really quickly. Alan Jackson is a legend. He’s been around country music for years and we asked him if he could join and make a band with the three of us. It was really an honor to be working with someone like this. After joining together, we recorded our first album Rodeo Bull in 2005 which sparked to No.1 selling album for 6 weeks. We also won 3 Awards at the CMA, Album of the Year, Song of the Decade, and Entertainers of the Year. All in the same year. We also won a grammy for Best new Artist. Since then we’ve been making lots of hit records and albums that our fans are always going to Love. We’re Rodeo Revival. New Country
