Abstract:
North Carolina has nurtured a vibrant and diverse regional music recording scene since the 1930s. It was in 1937 that RCA Victor established a recording studio in Charlotte, where acts such as Wade Mainer, The Blue Sky Boys, and J.E. Mainer and the Mountaineers recorded their unique North Carolina sound. Music recording in North Carolina continues to thrive into the 21st century as the musical distinctiveness of the state prompt new artists daily.
