old time music
Appalachian string bands
Old time music is a genre of American folk music rooted in the rural South, predating and influencing bluegrass and country.
It features fiddle tunes, banjo picking, and traditional songs passed down through generations.
The style emphasizes communal playing and dancing over virtuoso performance: We heard some old time music at the square dance.
Also written old-time music.
