A Special note from Lilly Dru meva: I am a Fulbright scholar from Bulgaria and will be in Nashville until November 1st, researching and studying the history and industry of country music. I would like to establish contacts with libraries, universities, museums, archives, music venues and other places, where country music is available. I would also like to interview interesting people, involved in the country music industry: artists, songwriters, promoters, managers, record label executives and others. My research will result in a book on country and bluegrass music, which will be released in spring 2014. It will be the first in Bulgarian language! Back home I am a well-known music journalist, presenting my own country music show on Bulgarian national radio. I am also an artist and bluegrass pioneer in Eastern Europe. I am the band leader and main musician of Bulgaria’s only bluegrass/country band “Lilly of the West”.
