About National Country Music Day
When is National Country Music Day? This holiday is always celebrated on July 4
Today is a sweet musical day to listen to your favorite songs with a twang. It’s National Country Music Day…hee haw! This July 4 holiday is best enjoyed while wearing a cowboy hat and boots. But, if it’s too hot (and it most likely is), listen to country music in your bathing suit at the beach or by the pool. Of the dozens of music genres, it is among the Top 5 in popularity.
Country music has been a popular music style in America for many decades. It represents a whole lifestyle. Other styles of music have taken the country by storm, only to burn out or fade away. Country music continues to play on as its popularity grows. Recording artists abound to bring you a wealth of songs.
As we researched this special day, we fully expected a country music organization or group to have created and sponsored this day. We were amazed to find no such connection.
Where’s the epicenter of country music? It’s the Grand ‘Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee.
