Americana

Americana Conference (continued)

Americana. Like the new head of SONY, John Grady, said, there's still a lot of work to do with the brand. But it keeps growing, and the membership is a committed nucleus. I read in Billboard that one program director was calling the format American Roots Music. It's not a one word name, but it makes a lot of sense to me. Whatever you call it, it represents a huge percentage of the great music that's being made in this country and abroad, and it deserves more attention at radio, at retail, and in the homes of avid music listeners all over the world. Support independent music. Get out and catch it live whenever and wherever possible. And when you hear artists you like, tell your friends about them.
