The music of Indiana was strongly influenced by a large number of German and Irish immigrants who arrived in the 1830s.
Indiana was one of the first places where jazz music became popular outside of New Orleans and Chicago. In the late 1910s and through the 1920s the state had numerous bands of young musicians playing the new style for dancing.
