I just got into Bandcamp recently and I really want to expand my knowledge base on music. Most of what I listened to was either popular 80’s rock or several subgenres of EDM, but I’m slowly (re)introducing some genres like: Jazz, Country, Folk, and maybe Hip Hop.

Toss me a suggestion if you got one.

    If you’re interested in Country and Folk but have the range of taste you seem to, you should definitely become aware of Punch Brothers if you’re not already. Basically experimental bluegrass, I’d recommend any of their albums but Phosphorescent Blues might be a good start. The frontman Chris Thile’s also part of Nickel Creek and their new album has a very Punch Brothers feel to it as well.

      Ooh completely agree on the recommendation of Punch Brothers. I’d also especially like to thank you for the tidbit of info about Chris Thile being a member of Nickel Creek! Haven’t heard of this band before but will definitely be checking them out.

        It was where he got his start 20+ years ago, but both him and Sara Watkins (the fiddler) went on to do some interesting stuff to say the least. Their new album was sort of a reunion.
