=﻿Team 8: Irving & Elmer Assignment 1; Preliminary Research=
 * Country music originated during the 1920's, known as hillbilly at the time, evolved rapidly and was traditionally found in the southern part of The United States. The term "Country Music" became popular during the 1940's and was widely known by the 1970's. After that time, it declined in the United states, thought it remained popular in The United Kingdom and Ireland. Country music has produced the top two solo singers of all time. After its decline, it came back as one of the best sold genres during 2005 and the years after.
 * Some Artists that defined Country music were Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Garth Brooks, Roy Orbinson, Bob Dylan, U2
 * Typical Country listeners in the Unise States are powerfully found within ages 25-64, as one goes lower in the map, the number of country listeners grows avidly and the fans are more traditional about it.
 * Country artists use some key elements to makert themselves in the genre, they adopt images that would make people feel at home, such as the look of a farm family at their Sunday best, and bring the feeling of a life that happened not so long ago. Country bands also center their values around family, thrift, religion and industry.
 * Country artists usually perform at venues that relate in some way to the life of a farmer, a westerner or a cowboy. The rodeo is a perfect place for a country band to perform.

=Assignment 3: Band Biography= The Golden Dream is a Country Rock band that originated in Alabama, when the two members, Elmer and Irving became best friends and soon they found out that they both had the same musical interests. As teenagers they played Country music at familiar parties and other unofficial events and gained most of their experience from that. In 2007 they had enough songs to make a record deal, but they decided to change their style a little bit and so they rewrote all their songs and added a touch of Rock to them. Within the next 2 the years The Golden Dream became popular within their hometown, Green Bow, Alabama and played for money at community events and the people loved them. In 2010, Blake Knight from Genesis Orb Records heard them at the local talent show and offered them be part of the label. By the beginning of 2011 their new self-titled album was released and became fairly popular nation-wide thanks to their exceptional single "Tainted Heaven." After seeing that their first performance ever out of their hometown was completely successful, they became very confident about themselves. "It was the first time we ever played in Texas, but the 70-80 people that were watching were singing along as if they had been fans all their lives" says Elmer Cruz. =Assignment 4: Tour Name/Sponsor= The Golden Dream goes on Genesis tour accross the United States, sposored by Willy Wonka Bar with Golden ticket promotion.
