Land, Legacy, and the Sound of American Identity

We’re often told America has no culture of its own— that it’s merely borrowed from others. But culture is carried through land, legacy, and the generations who worked, fought, and built upon it. When music reflects that truth, it does more than entertain— it reminds us who we are.
