Metamodern Country
Celebrating traditional country music from the metamodern age

Metamodernism embraces contradiction and seeks bridges between difference and perspective in a world of fragmentation and polarization. Metamodern Country, named after Sturgill Simpson's groundbreaking 2014 album "Metamodern Sounds in Country Music," represents a new era of innovation and experimentation in traditional country music.
