Brian: Thanks for taking the time to poke around in the Bluegrass channel for a few minutes. I agree that my tune is closer to "roots" music than bluegrass -- and I just discovered that they do have "Roots" channel. However, OurStage decided to combined it with traditional country (huh??????). Might as well just combine blues and rock.
Now, I realize how difficult it is to come up with great genre "buckets" and Ourstage has been adding some new ones. Right now, they ought to stop and re-visit all of their genre definitions and re-do them (combining the ones that make more sense). Maybe even have genre/subgenre
For example, right now they have: Americana / Alt Country Bluegrass Country Traditional Country / Roots
Could be: Genre: Americana/Country Sub Genres: Modern Top 40 Country Traditional Country Alternative Country/Americana Bluegrass/Roots
Note: I chose the above sub-genres so I wouldn't have more than their 4 categories.
Heck, You probably have as much experience in genre classification as anyone in the country -- they ought to enlist your help.
