    • Holiday Conversation Corner with Mark Wayne Glasmire

      By: Andrew Vaughan 1) What is your favorite Holiday memory as a child? "I have been blessed to have nothing but fond memories of Christmas throughout my entire life. Having been born and raised in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, 'The Christmas City,' has always made those memories that much more special. I believe my fondest memories are of the times that...
    • What Are Friends For?

      By: Vinny Ribas Being on stage with an appreciative audience is a very exhilarating experience. It is awesome feeling ‘popular’, even if it is just for a little while. However, in between shows, taking care of the business of getting gigs, marketing yourself, sending out contracts etc. can be very frustrating. This is especially true if you...
    • Conversation Corner with Paul McCartney

      By: Andrew Vaughan It never stops for a Beatle -- a messy divorce, court dealing with iTunes, a new Beatles Monopoly game to promote, more awards and tributes, a very special concert in Israel, a new album project and more Beatles re-issues.  But despite all that, and maybe because of all that, Paul McCartney, legend and icon, does his very best to...
    • 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.

    • Steering Your Own Musical Destiny

      By: Vinny Ribas There are leaders, and there are followers. Leaders take the bull by the horns and they run with it. They create, innovate, and find solutions. They are constantly generating new ideas and then acting on them. Followers, on the other hand, wait to ride the coattails of others. They see what else is working and then try to duplicate it. They...
    • 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...
    • Tribute to Gram Parsons

      By Andrew Vaughan In January, Country rock's saddest soul was honored again in San Francisco. Gram Parsons died tragically in 1973, but his influence and legacy seems more powerful than ever. San Francisco musician, Eric Shea, a huge Parsons fan, brought together a team of GP aficionados, including Red Meat, Molly Tuttle, The Stone Foxes, Elisa Randazzo,...
    • 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....
    • 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...
    • Interview with The Bravery

      By: Nikki Spalaris Some time ago, I was listening to my Sirius/XM radio and a song came on to what I THOUGHT was an all 80’s music channels. I couldn’t recognize who it was, but it sounded familiar and it had all the elements of a great 80’s song. Now given my age (which we won't mention), I thought I knew EVERY band from the 80’s. I...

    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."
