A trivia pack on country and folk music — the Grand Ole Opry founders, the outlaw country wave, the singer-songwriter and folk revival eras, the Garth-era 90s commercial peak, and the modern Americana / pop-country / bluegrass-revival scene.

The founders (Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, the Carter Family), the outlaw era (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson), the 70s-80s crossover (Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Glen Campbell). The 90s commercial peak (Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, George Strait, Alan Jackson) and the modern Nashville hitmakers (Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Kacey Musgraves).
The Texas / Americana scene (Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle, Kacey Musgraves) and the recent bluegrass / country crossover acts (Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, Zach Bryan) all get a look.
Folk and singer-songwriter
The folk-revival era (Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Joni Mitchell, Simon & Garfunkel), the British folk wave (Nick Drake, Sandy Denny, Fairport Convention), and the modern folk acts (Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Iron & Wine).
The pack treats folk and country as a single continuum — the questions cross over freely between the two scenes, since their histories are intertwined.

Modern or classic-heavy?
Both — classic country and modern Nashville / Americana each get a chunk.
How many players?
Up to six per room.
Do I need to know lyrics?
No — facts only (artist, song, album, year).
