Forty-five minutes of quick-stepping person after person, everyone as impatient as the next, tap-tap-tapping and snaking their way through the TSA line. Another hour waiting for the plane to arrive and people to be seated. Minimal hours of sleep from the night before. Two hours […]
Well, I’ve finally recovered from a wild weekend of music at the Ameripolitan Music Weekend & Awards. Unsatisfied with the direction of Nashville’s country music, singer/songwriter, and great guitarist, Dale Watson decided to brand his own music as Ameripolitan. In looking around, he quickly realized there was a lot of American Roots music not adequately […]
