    • CMA Music Fest Country's Biggest Event

      By: Andrew Vaughan   CMA Music Fest is country music biggest event of the year. Despite Kix Brooks proclaiming that the CMA needs to pay artists to appear (they have always appeared for free since the event is set up as a charity), a hoist of superstars and exciting up-and-comers will be in town for Nashville's glitziest schmoozefest and musical...
    • Concert Cell Phone Etiquette

      By: Nikki Spalaris Okay, everyone... I think it’s time to "have the talk.” What talk, you ask? The etiquette one. This one is not about table manners or wearing white after Labor Day. No, this one is about a nasty addiction. An addiction that is so viral and yet complacent to the norm that we can't see the light at the end of...
    • Who Loves Ya, Baby?

      By: Vinny Ribas Many artists believe that the more friends that they have on their social networks, the more popular they are. It certainly sounds impressive to say that you have 20,000 friends on your MySpace site. From a numbers standpoint alone, you have certainly increased your odds of finding real fans by your aggressive marketing tactics. But the...
    • Conversation Corner with Trailer Choir

      By: Andrew Vaughan Toby Keith is a smart cookie. He runs his Show Dog empire from an unassuming building a few blocks from Nashville’s famed Music Row, and he clearly knows a thing about A&R. Record companies usually employ an A&R (artist and repertoire, but that’s kind of misleading) Exec to look after their artists and sign new talent...
    • Where Are You Spending Your Energy?

      By: Vinny Ribas The amount of things that an artist needs to do to be ‘successful’ can seem overwhelming at times. There’s songwriting, recording, rehearsing, taking instrument or voice lessons, performing, recording, marketing, booking gigs, making travel arrangements, generating publicity, buying equipment, bookkeeping, and much more....
    • "On a Bold Horizon" with Brendan James

      By: Emily J Ramey Brendan James approaches the pop world with an uncommon and bright new image - himself. James chooses to share with his audiences truth and life and knowledge, but all of his own. Instead of playing a part, James portrays himself exactly as he is - warm, introspective, kind - and has therefore achieved abounding success on his terms.
    • Steering Your Own Musical Destiny

      By: Vinny Ribas There are leaders, and there are followers. Leaders take the bull by the horns and they run with it. They create, innovate, and find solutions. They are constantly generating new ideas and then acting on them. Followers, on the other hand, wait to ride the coattails of others. They see what else is working and then try to duplicate it. They...
    • Holiday Conversation Corner with Mark Wayne Glasmire

      By: Andrew Vaughan 1) What is your favorite Holiday memory as a child? "I have been blessed to have nothing but fond memories of Christmas throughout my entire life. Having been born and raised in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, 'The Christmas City,' has always made those memories that much more special. I believe my fondest memories are of the times that...
    • Garth Brooks is Back

      By: Andrew Vaughan It was obvious, really. Could the world’s most enthusiastic stage performer really quit performing forever? Of course not, and a series of un-hyped charity shows and benefits kept Garth Brooks in the mood for the past ten years. A limited run in Vegas is the obvious answer. And please, no more Sinatra and the eternal comeback jokes...
    • Conversation Corner with Marthia Sides

      By: Andrew Vaughan Marthia Sides is not only one of the more dynamic performers to surface in Nashville, but she's also one of the more interesting. Marthia's from a musical theater and acting career in New York City. When not performing she trained as a stylist and now has numerous celebrity clients. But country music drew Marthia to Nashville where she's...

    Hell yes, one of the best bands (and videos) ever. Mars Vota and Sparta are nothing compared to At The Drive in . Although I don't think they...

    American Music Channel is “Giving Back” through creating philanthropic campaigns that align charitable organizations and artists to make a difference in our world.

    By Andrew Vaughan

    Let's start 2010 with something free. I was contacted recently by an old country music buddy in England about this new concept artist posters. Paul Harris is the guy's name who runs the company and as an ex-singer/songwriter he loves to visit Nashville and do business with Music City. He started a poster company in England offering special posters British pop stars, global superstars, and premier league soccer heroes, and now the company is branching out to the USA and country music.
