Interview

The Lower Aetna began as a lonely quarantine project by Dylan Gallimore. His previous band, the Philadelphia-based Honeyjar, had just taken an indefinite hiatus and Gallimore began to feverishly write — literally, since he was sick with COVID-19. After firing off a stadium rock-inspired album, Waiting for God to Turn on the Lights, The Lower Aetna has turned their sites to Americana and his home — the majestic forests of the New Jersey Pine Barrens.

Country Universe

The longest-running country music blog, Country Universe was founded on and remains committed to the fact-based notion that country music has never been the exclusive purview of artists who are straight, white, Christian, Southern, and (mostly) men. When focusing on either the genre's history or its present, CU takes a "big tent" approach to the broader country universe and believes that a foundation of empathy makes country music an essential part of our shared popular culture.
