The soundtrack of Stardew Valley is already one of the most memorable parts of the game. From peaceful mornings on the farm to exploring the mines, fishing by the ocean, or wandering through Pelican Town, the music helps give every corner of the valley its own personality. But the game has another huge cast of characters with personalities, interests, and stories that are just as distinctive as its soundtrack. So we started wondering: what would the people of Stardew Valley actually listen to if they had playlists of their own?

What is Stardew Valley?

Stardew Valley is a farming and life-simulation RPG created by Eric Barone, better known as ConcernedApe. The game begins when your character inherits their grandfather's old farm and decides to leave their previous life behind for a fresh start in Stardew Valley. When you arrive, you discover an overgrown property that needs plenty of work time and care. You also find a small community filled with people to meet, friendships to build and stories to uncover.

Introduction To Kent, Stardew Valley’s Soldier

Kent is a character in the Stardew Valley video game who returns to Pelican Town after serving in the military. His arrival affects the town's dynamics, especially for his wife, Jodi, and his sons, Sam and Vincent. As a military veteran dealing with PTSD, Kent strives to be a good father and husband, becoming an integral part of Pelican Town life.

His musical style could encompass classic rock, blues, folk, older favorites, and tunes tied to memories from before he left town. These genres cater to his desire for tranquility amidst the town's serenity, while also invoking nostalgia. He's definitely someone who enjoys what is now labeled as "Dad Rock".
