Music is a universal language that we can all relate to and understand. It is a form of communication in itself so it sometimes seems redundant to write about the subject. With that being said, there can be many benefits to blogs and magazines about music. They can promote albums, share live performances, and give fans a platform to bond over their favorite artists. They can also create conversations about the deeper meaning or technical aspects of an artist’s work through interviews and forums. Since our artists are based in Nashville, we have a couple of blogs and online magazines that we are loving at the moment. Click on the picture to go to their website!
Sounds Like Nashville! This online magazine’s prime focus is country music. Their About Us page stated, “Sounds Like Nashville provides up-to-date, relevant and compelling content focused on the genre, lifestyle, and culture of Country music.” The writers on staff are quick thinking, uploading articles just hours after major events like Sunday night’s Grammys. Sounds Like Nashville has written about Matthew Perryman Jones and that article can be accessed here!
