Anyone connected to, or familiar with, 'country' music has probably heard the name Stanley. Probably lots of folks have been exposed to the Stanley name, especially the Stanley Brothers, preservationists of mountain music, or as they liked to call it, 'old timey country.' The brothers are being inducted into America's Old Time Country Music Hall of Fame this year. Ralph Stanley, the surviving Stanley Brother, was a huge hit in the movie 'O Brother Where Art Thou.' His brother Carter, the smooth vocalist and songwriter for the duo, passed away in 1966 from cirrhosis of the liver. He was only 41 years old. Ralph has carried on the musical tradition of the Stanley Brothers, mostly with his band the Clinch Mountain Boys. This 'tradition' is vitally important to fans of country music, when it was actually 'country.' Today, most country music leans heavily on rock-and-roll, and even rap, in an attempt to attract a young audience. But in the doing, perhaps major labels have tossed the baby out with the bath water, when it comes to actually projecting a true 'country' image in the music they produce.'

Raven Theatre will present a double header weekend of Wiggerlover [whiteboy+blackdad=greyareas] and The Game Show Show... & Stuff.

Today, June 21, the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre hosted the Australasian Performing Rights Association Music Awards in Sydney, Australia. The Australasian Performing Right Association Limited (APRA) was established in 1926 and now administers the performing and communication rights of 60,000+ composer, songwriter and music publisher members in Australia and New Zealand. The annual APRA Awards recognize the achievements of their songwriter, composer and publisher members across all genres of music. BroadwayWorld brings coverage of the event below.

Dueting it for the Kids is a concert unlike anything heard previously in Sydney. This event will bring together the top Australian names of the recording and concert industry in a concert of duets - pairing many of today's greatest voices in an evening of music and song. This one off concert, in aid of The Australian Childrens' Music Foundation, is on Monday 9 August at Sydney's State Theatre.
