the portion of the piedmont region in the southern united states, is closely associated with the piedmont blues, a style of blues music that originated there in the late 19th century. according to the piedmont blues preservation society, most piedmont blues musicians came from virginia, the carolinas, and georgia. during the great migration, african americans migrated to the piedmont. with the appalachian mountains to the west, those who might otherwise have spread into rural areas stayed in cities and were thus exposed to a broader mixture of music than those in, for example, the rural mississippi delta. thus, piedmont blues was influenced by many types of music such as ragtime, country, and popular songs—styles that had comparatively less influence on blues music in other regions.
