| What Singers Are From Pennsylvania |
From Country Twang to Pop Bangs: A Genre-Bending Bunch
Pennsylvania's musical heritage is as diverse as its landscape. You've got country crooners like Gabby Barrett, belting out anthems about small-town life, while Pink brings the pop-punk energy with her powerhouse vocals. Hall & Oates might be the undisputed kings of smooth soul, but don't forget Meek Mill dropping bars that are anything but smooth (and that's a good thing).
