As an original member of the Americana Music Association and Reporter to the AMA chart, it’s been a long journey in radio to the land of music I’m passionate about – Americana. The release of Steve Earle’s “Guitar Town” in 1986 changed the landscape of Country Radio forever – and the course of my radio career. I landed in Nashville in 1991 to program “Rockin’ Country 102.9” – an Americana station before the term even existed! I was honored to be named “Americana MD/APD” by Gavin Magazine in 2001 and after stops at terrestrial stations throughout my 25-year radio career, I couldn’t be more excited than to be programming the Americana station on GotRadio.com. We’re keeping it Rootsy and Real – and following the mission statement of the AMA: “to advocate for the authentic voice of American Roots Music around the world.”
