Small town hipsters

There's a radio program I listen to most weeks called "American Routes." It's a show about Americana music, country, blues, folk, and rockabilly. It's usually very good and has a soothing aspect to it that always makes me feel better when listening.

One show they had recently was called "Small Town Hipsters." It was about people living in small towns and into Americana or into the same style of music you more easily find in cities. They played "Driver 8" as an example, and they interviewed various local musicians, who are used to playing to 10 people in a small barroom. It was enchanting - the small town life is something I always instinctively get and love, although now I live in the city.

You see small town hipsters easily enough, if you go to arthouse cinema on weeknights and then go to the bar next door for a beer afterward. You'd be surprised how many there are, and how easy to find they are. You yourself may just be one - I hope? Whoever you are, o reader of this blog, I'm glad to have you around.

Peace.
