New York City has had a country scene for a long time. In the late 1990s, 9C frequently attracted the likes of Steve Earle, Jim Lauderdale, etc. Around that time and later, the Demolition String Band, Hang Dogs, Bruce Henderson, the 5 Chinese Brothers, Greg Garing, Amy Allison, the list goes on were playing country music in the East Village, at the Rodeo Bar, etc. years before the Brooklyn Country Music Festival. This isn't new.
