Ethnomusic culture proposal

The music culture that I am going to study is going to be the acoustic-chill scene in deep ellum. I had known deep ellum as the night scene with usually heavy guitar riffs and people moshing. I had a friend play a small set at a cafe in deep ellum and it was really cool. Many aspiring singer/songwriters gather at the small stage and pour out their hearts in front of total strangers sometimes. I would say the scene in dallas might be interesting compared to other acoustic chill scenes because of its small size compared to all of the events that occur at night, I would like to study the surroundings of the area and see how that affects the style of music expressed at the cafe. It seems inspiring to me to study this because many of the performers come from different backgrounds, there are many college students who play for fun, some who aspire for bigger dreams of being john mayer or something, and even older guys so im excited to see and hear many of the unique sounds an lyrics...I would kinda of but not restrict the style to the movie and music from ONCE, where for some of the performers, writing music is a way of life, they express themselves with it, and almost subside with it going meal to meal hoping one day to make it!

scene from once where the music store owner lets them play on a piano because the lady cant afford one and they realize they click after playing for the first time together...
