    • 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....
    • Conversation Corner with Tanya Tucker

      By: Andrew Vaughan Tanya Tucker is running late. The media representatives patiently waiting their audience with one of country’s most colorful characters seem unsurprised by Tanya’s tardiness. Tanya likes to talk.  She has so many stories to tell after all, and we are all more than happy to wait for our turn with a country music legend.
    • The Leader Of The Band

      By: Vinny Ribas Every business has a leader - someone who establishes the personality, attitude, work ethic, moral standards and code of conduct for the rest of the company. The person who founded the company automatically takes on that role from the very first day. Oftentimes he (or she) doesn’t even realize the impact he is having or that he is...
    • Song City

      By: Andrew Vaughan I met with two record company executives from Europe last week, which set me thinking about the real music power base in Nashville. Wanting to show off the new Nashville, I thought I'd take them somewhere cool and I picked a classy Gulch restaurant, Sambuca. I had expected a jazz, blues, or maybe bluegrass band to impress my European...
    • Ten Mistakes That Many Artists Make When Trying To Book Themselves

      By: Vinny Ribas 1. Bragging. It is not about how good you are! It's always about how you can help the person or the venue hiring you meet their goals!
    • Conversation Corner with Chet Atkins

      By: Andrew Vaughan It’s almost seven years (June 30, 2001) since Nashville icon Chet Atkins passed away, and to mark the anniversary, Chet’s favorite pupil, Steve Wariner, is releasing a very personal tribute album. More on that album at a later date when we talk with Steve, but first it makes sense to remember one of the men who made Nashville...
    • "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.
    • 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...
    • Virgin Mobile Free Fest

      By: Nikki Spalaris A day after Tropical Storm Danny swept up the Eastern seaboard and did little to no damage, another kind of "hurricane" altogether came through the following day at the Virgin Mobile Free Fest. The name of this one was Richard... as in Branson. On a day that seemed to be especially designed for weather, people, and fun, the...
    • Conversation Corner with Tracy Lawrence

      By: Andrew Vaughan Nobody could accuse Tracy Lawrence of being boring. Since he burst on the country scene in 1991 as a rough-around-the-edges, 23-year-old "hellion" (Tracy's words!), Lawrence has experienced all the ups and downs of life in the spotlight. There has been an arrest or two, a suspension by a record company, a shooting in a parking...

    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.
