    • Conversation Corner with JD Souther

      By: Andrew Vaughan A key figure in California’s country rock and singer/songwriter movement of the early 70s, JD Souther wrote some of the finest songs of that era, including the Eagles' "Heartache Tonight," "Victim of Love," "New Kid In Town," and "Best of My Love."  He also penned a few classics for one...
    • 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...
    • Star Spotting

      By: Andrew Vaughan Celebrities love Nashville; it’s a low key city, and the people are pretty much unassuming and reluctant to harass and bother the rich and famous. There are exceptions, of course, and every country singer will tell a tale of outrageous fan persistence in obtaining an autograph or picture. My favorite remains Ricky Skaggs having a...
    • Conversation Corner with Star De Azlan

      By: Andrew Vaughan Star DeAzlan started out young. At 13 years of age she was singing open mic nights at the Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos, Texas.  At 13, of course, she had no idea of the significance of the venue she was playing. She had no idea that this was the place where George Strait got his break. In fact, three members of Strait...
    • "Burning Up Nashville" with Sage Keffer

      By: Emily J Ramey Sage Keffer is excited about country music.  And I’m not just talking about looking forward to getting a hit song on the radio, or enthusiastic about his upcoming album, or optimistic that the CMT reality show he’s featured in this spring is going to garner some well-warranted publicity.  This man is buzzing with...
    • 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 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...
    • 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...
    • UniversalPoster.com and American Music Channel Giveaways

      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...
    • 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...

    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

    In case you missed it, Nashville was hammered by an epic flood disaster on May 1 and May 2 this year. Among the thousands affected were hundreds of musicians, some famous, some not. So it was a typically Nashville moment last week when the music community got together to give help and make a statement that Nashville is on its way back. Faith Hill, who organized the event along with singing husband Tim McGraw said at the show, "Nashville will rise and that is why we have come together tonight. Musicians, football players, coaches, our elected officials, you in the audience, yes, we are all the same. We're just neighbors who care and friends who want to make a difference."
