Country music plays a big role in American culture. It’s a great sort of entertainment for the people. It makes people united. Even the concert where we went, the whole restaurant was full of people who only came for the concert. Their attitudes seemed that they like country music a lot. They also hum along with the songs. The second music band made the audience to dance with the song. There was also a communication between the audience and the musicians. Country music is a great way to express the feelings for the musicians. Country songs increase awareness of the inner city life throughout suburban USA. Its lyrics often contain the details of lives of the musicians or an event. This provides an experience for the audience whose lives are fluctuating with sad and happy events. The bands also described situations with the song. At the beginning, the first band introduces its band members by singing with style. That was an introduction to the audience through the song about the members of the band.
There was a lot of clapping at the end or middle of each song. It’s a necessary part of Country music. The clapping tradition, which is not only common in Country but also in all music, plays a very crucial role in any kind of music show. Throughout the performance, the audience frequently clapped when it was essential to clap. It led the development of rhythmic scales. It also inspired the musicians a lot to deliver more great performances. Whenever there was a change in music, audiences applauded highly. By applauding, they showed their appreciation for Country music. It's their expression of compliment and approval that they are conveying to the performers for providing good performances. At the end of each segment, the audience clapped, as it was ordinary at the end of every performance.
Country music is defined by labels of the industry. It is the traditional music that was played regularly by mostly rural people in the past. Now, it plays a commercial role in the music industry. The price of the tickets for the concert was medium and it was a way to earn money for the musicians by participating the concerts in the restaurant.
