AMA Conference Coverage by Americana Roots

Sunday, September 24, 2006 By Tom Osborne

You’ve heard me rave about Ray Randall’s podcasts in the past. Now let me offer further kudos to the fine folks at Americana Roots notably Gregg Geil for their great coverage of this weekend’s Americana Music Conference in Nashville, TN. Be sure and check out the nice photos posted to help us blokes that couldn’t make it get the feel for what it was like. Keep fertilizing, fellas! The Zoysia grass is a-growin’.

Additionally, check out this interesting article found in the Tennessean shortly before the conference began. Thanks to Butler Touchton for pointing it out. Does this fit your profile?

With the second-highest average income of any radio format segment, Americana listeners tend to lean left politically, shop at Whole Foods, drink bottled water and prefer Volvos and Porsches over Chevys and Fords, according to the study, conducted by The Media Audit, an audience research company.
