# CountryStation

> CountryStation helps people discover country music concerts and festivals in the United States, alongside ideas for the places and experiences around them.

The canonical website is https://countrystation.com/. The www hostname redirects to it.

Visitors can search by artist, city, one or more states, and dates. They can save or hide events and artists. Preferences stay in that browser on that device; there are no user accounts or cross-device synchronization.

Listings are discovery information, not a ticket inventory or a promise of availability. Ticket purchases happen on linked third-party sites. Confirm dates, venue, age restrictions, availability and prices with the official organizer or seller before making plans.

The bundled event guide is a dated snapshot with source links and per-record verification and expiry fields. Never describe its contents as live, exhaustive or freshly checked merely because a file was downloaded. The interface excludes expired records. An optional live provider connection may supplement the guide when configured; its availability must be verified rather than assumed. Do not infer unknown times, prices or sold-out status.

Visitors can bookmark shows and favorite or mute artists and cities in their browser. /choices edits these private, device-local preferences; it is not a public profile or concert data source.

The States map can remember a visitor-selected home state, favorite states and Blue/Red map color in a first-party preference cookie. Artist browsing offers Rows and Photos views. Recent successful public listing responses are reused briefly within the browser tab; check times are retained and expired records are filtered.

Artist browsing uses /data/artists.json, a static globally sorted set of identified artists from the stated US Country concert window. Pages, letters and photo views are local filters, not separate concert batches. Metadata is normally refreshed daily; the original check time and hard expiry are retained.
