Appalachian

Appalachian music sprouted in the late 19th century in the, unsurprisingly, Appalachian mountains, where folks gathered to swap songs and perhaps a pint or two. It's defined by heartfelt vocals and acoustic instruments, often sounding like a mountain breeze whisking through a hearty game of cards – both soothing and a tad raucous. If you listen closely, you might hear a history lesson infused with a fair bit of shenanigans, proving that even in the hollers, life can be a merry tune of joy and struggle.
