It is important, however, to look deeper, celebrating and understanding what defines Ozark music, how it came to be, and what it will become.
It is also important to know that Ozark music is not purely acoustic. The early television show, The Ozark Jubilee (based in Springfield, Missouri), was a pioneer in popularizing what would become commercial country music.
And many do not realize that Ben Moody and Amy Lee (of Evanescence) developed their skills and style in the southern Ozarks region near Little Rock.
Thus, State of the Ozarks is dedicated to celebrating the Ozarks' music heritage, past, present and future.
The classic country rock band, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, is coming back to their hometown to perform live at the Gillioz Theatre September 10-11.
After three sold out shows in 2007, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils will be returning to the historic Gillioz Theatre September 10 and 11 at 8:15 p.m.
Producers of the worldwide hits "Jackie Blue" and "If You Want To Get To Heaven," the Ozark Mountain Daredevils have eight albums selling over two million records.
Rolling Stone Magazine described their music as "A mixture of country, appalchia, the south, and Rock & Roll."
