What is Countrify.ca?

There are some sites like Saving Country Music that bash sub-genres like Pop Country. I completely respect the need to recognize what is traditional and to preserve its roots and what has helped to create the genre and the culture behind it. What I think 'Trigger' fails to acknowledge is that there are many people that may not be, or did not start out as, fans of the country genre.

I grew up in a household dominated by heavy metal and alternative music. It wasn't until recently that I gained an appreciation for the country music genre. Now it's true that I entered into the genre through a mix of more mainstream country, pop country and bro country, but that has led me to explore and appreciate traditional country songs and artists that I may never have taken the time to explore.

I'm proud to say that I am a country fan, so much so that I've created a site for country (and non-country fans) to enjoy and appreciate the genre. What I do agree with 'Trigger' about is the fact that the focus should be people first.

So, let me share what Countrify is today and what it will become:

Phase 1: This site was launched to offer value to fans, you...the people. A place for you to enjoy and take something away from. It may even help people that were like me to open the door to country music, becoming more open-minded and appreciative of the genre.

Phase 2: It becomes even more about YOU. During the first phase, we will be listening to you, the fan. Phase 2 will implement what you tell us and what you want the site to be. We will also launch our blog, which will contain content created by you, the fan.

Phase 3: This is where things are taken to the next level. Countrify.ca was created by Countrify Productions. We will be launching original content by artists that we work with (which could be you!) We will spotlight, recognize and celebrate new artists, their creations and their tips and advice to further support all of you.

Thank you for being on this journey with us. Please contact us anytime to share your thoughts, feedback and advice for how we can grow and continue to support you - the fan.
