Howdy. I just joined. I am a singer/songwriter and I play Americana and Roots-rock music. Unfortunately, neither of those genres are on the list of possibilities so I was forced to select 'Acoustic" as my genre. What is up with that? Actually, it's not so horrible; I guess all music involves acoustics, doesn't it...?

Stephen Abbott Welcome to Project Opus

Hey Joe - good to have you here.

I am a fan of Americana/Roots rock music, so we will definitely get a category for it here on Project Opus. Your songs haven't made it through the format queue yet - but I am looking forward to hearing it.

So, now that SxSW has wrapped for another year, how's the scene in Austin? Does the city need a break, or does it buzz all year with more than it's share of great music?

Opus_Team Yeah genre is a bit of a mess

The official list of genres is very large and we wanted to keep it somewhat useable. So we truncated it. However in doing so, we are creating a bias in the system. We have therefore decided to leave Genre entirely Open - you can even make up your own. This new features will be released in Version 2 of Project Opus.
