    • Conversation Corner with Pat Metheny

      By: Andrew Vaughan Pat Metheny may just be the best known jazz artist currently treading the boards. One of the greatest guitarists of recent times, he has won countless polls as "Best Jazz Guitarist" and awards, including three gold records for (Still Life) Talking, Letter from Home, and Secret Story. He has also won 17 Grammy Awards spread out...
    • 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.
    • Create Your Own Success

      By: Vinny Ribas Anything worth having is worth working and even fighting for. Yet, I am amazed at the number of artists who just sit and wait for the world to ‘discover them’. The truth is that anyone who has any modicum of success, in any industry, most likely did a whole lot of things that would put them in the way of opportunity. That way,...
    • "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...
    • 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...
    • 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!
    • "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...
    • 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...
    • Conversation Corner with Al Perkins

      By: Andrew Vaughan They don't come much more humble, nor as gifted as Franklin, Tennessee's very own country rock icon, Al Perkins. He may not have grabbed the headlines like Gram Parsons, or Don Henley, or even Sneaky Pete and Clarence White, but make no mistake the steel guitar work of Al Perkins is crucial to the rise of country rock from hippie 60s...
    • 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...

    ‘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.
