    • "Onward and Upward and to the Moon" with Moon Taxi

      By: Emily J Ramey With the word “songwriter,” a lot of people will conjure images of a guy in a collared shirt strumming an acoustic guitar and crooning melancholy ballads, or scribbling lyrics on scraps of paper and humming mechanically, fleshing out the next big radio hit.  Rarely does band practice come to mind, and yet, five guys, each...
    • Interview: Jeremy Scott of the Reigning Sound

      By: Nathan Cox If you haven’t heard of Memphis garage legends the Reigning Sound, don’t feel bad. You’re in the majority. The fact that the Reigning Sound is not a household name is truly a travesty. Formed in 2001 by Greg Cartwright shortly after the demise of his previous band The Oblivians (a band you also should’ve heard of), The...
    • Conversation Corner with Tammy Cochran

      By: Andrew Vaughan Tammy Cochran releases her most personal album with 30 Something and Single. The Ohio raised singer, who found major label fame in the early 2000s, has since settled into an independent label career that allows her to explore more personal music and develop her individual style. "I believe there are good and bad things to being...
    • Are You Leaving Money On The Table?

      By: Vinny Ribas It may sound impressive to say you have thousands of friends on MySpace. Are you capitalizing on all of that traffic and finding ways to turn it into income? It is certainly great that you’re booked every weekend or every week. Are you making as much money as you could be? There are a lot of tips and tricks that artists use to maximize...
    • Conversation Corner with Richard Jaymes

      By: Andrew Vaughan At the recent Country Radio Seminar, a radio industry event where new artists and established acts fight for playlist consideration from the country’s most powerful radio programmers, a star just may have been born.
    • Conversation Corner with Lorrie Morgan

      By: Andrew Vaughan She quit smoking five years ago, and Lorrie Morgan looks ten years younger. She says she put on a pound or two, but you’d never know. Veterans of the singing business shouldn’t look nor sound as good as Lorrie Morgan, but then she was never exactly your typical Nashville singer. The daughter of Country Music Hall of Famer...
    • "For the Love of Songwriting" with Chuck Cannon

      By: Emily J Ramey Chuck Cannon ambles down from his house in the woods to meet me, dressed in his finest beach wear, the remainder of a day on the lake with his three children.  He shows me to his studio, a building separate from the house that once served as a garage, although you’d never know it: the stuccoed walls, rusted chandeliers, and dark...
    • The Cross Between

      By: Vinny Ribas You are defined by your look and your sound. Some people will see your picture, watch or hear you in an interview before they ever hear your music. Others will hear your music before they ever see what you look like in pictures or on stage. In both cases, people are making ‘first impression’ judgments before they ever get to know...
    • Conversation Corner with David Nail

      By: Andrew Vaughan Some names just stick. When David Nail’s record company offered their debutant up for interview and review I felt sure I knew the name. Sure enough, there on my haphazardly organized bookshelf was a 2002 promo CD labeled, David Nail - an advance album that contained at least two memorable tunes. I guess David himself can solve the...
    • London's Rock and Roll Hotels

      By: Andrew Vaughan Is there a city with a richer musical pedigree than London? Sure, music fans make Mecca-like treks to New York and Los Angeles, Nashville and Austin and Seattle. Some even wander around Paris looking for Jim Morrison's grave, and yes, there is that place called Liverpool that gave us John, Paul, and Ringo, but London...

    ‘Music City 411- Robin Gibb Tribute

    By: Andrew Vaughan

    It’s truly heartbreaking to see the pain Robin Gibb’s family is going through right now. The Bee Gees singer is in a coma after suffering with liver cancer and most recently pneumonia. Of course, several big name pop acts have passed away recently- Davy Jones of The Monkees probably the most recent. Now I knew Davy to talk to but I’d never met his family. Which is why hearing about the Gibb family’s pain surrounding Robin is so difficult to handle.
