    • 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...
    • Holiday Conversation Corner with Susan Hickman

      By: Andrew Vaughan New on the scene, independent country pop singer Susan Hickman has a terrific self-titled CD just released.

    • How Much Money Should I Spend On My CD?

      By: Vinny Ribas Any time that someone prepares to record a CD, chances are the first question that comes to their mind is “How much will it cost?” However, that is often not the right question to ask. Too many artists pay much more than they should for their recording project, not because the quality isn’t worth what they paid, but because...
    • Conversation Corner with Holly Williams

      By: Andrew Vaughan Holly Williams may just be the most exciting singer-songwriter to come down the alt.country pike since Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle and Nanci Griffith burst onto the scene over twenty years ago. Holly Williams has that natural songwriter’s ability to say deep profound things with apparently effortless simplicity. It’s a gift she...

    • Music 3.0 - The Historical Premise

      By: Paul Schatzkin The glimmer of a new beginning came at the end. The "end" in this case is the final scene of a documentary called "Any Day Now," which follows the summer 2008 tour of a Nashville-based musicians' collective called "Ten Out Of Tenn."
    • Terrible Celebrity Sickness - Overwhelming Pop Culture in 2009

      By: Andrew Vaughan As dust settles on the Michael Jackson death, funeral, tribute, and media circus, I'm left with one curious thought: have we really learned anything in the thirty-odd years since the untimely passing of another pop culture icon, Elvis Presley? Fame and celebrity has become increasingly intrusive since the 1960s and the beginning of the...
    • Holiday Conversation Corner with Becky Schlegel

      By: Andrew Vaughan 1) What is your favorite Holiday memory as a child? "I don't know what it is about toys, but I love to collect them. Lately, I've been thinking about my Fisher Price Cash Register. I got this toy from 'Santa' for Christmas when I was five years old. I still have it today (with all of the pen marks and colored-in, ripped decals),...

    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

    As the whole world begins to focus on The United Kingdoms capital city the evangelical music fan in me has ben reminded of the feature I wrote here a couple of years ago on a few of London’s rock and roll hotels. A lot of questions followed, mostly music fans and tourists wanting more specific information.

    So, with the Olympics here and with thousands of you heading to London for the sports fiesta, this American based “Londoner” doesn’t want anyone to miss out on a huge opportunity to discover some of London’s greatest musical landmarks. So the next few Music City 411 blogs are going to see me waxing lyrical about the music heritage of my hometown. And for anyone visiting for the first time and wanting to spend some time exploring London’s musical history I’ve highlighted some safe and top-rated music-flavored hotels to make your trip as easy and rewarding as possible. I’ve stayed, eaten and drank in all the places I talk about and traipsed every street been in every venue mentioned and ridden every bus train and taxi recommended.

    So let’s start where it all started. The Beatles!
