I am starting to get really excited about the Americana Music Association’s Conference, which is coming up in three weeks in Nashville. We had a blast last year, taping scads of artists, and running around town to see more of them at night. Music Fog will be there again in full force. We are taking the Marathon Recorders for our home away from home this time. It's in Marathon Village, where WRLT, Lightning 100 can be found, along with lots of other artistic endeavors. It was where the Marathon car was made way back when. We will be making magic of our own. I can’t wait to share this year’s line up with you.
One of the bands we met during last year's AMA festival is bringing us today’s video. The Defibulators travel in a spiffy vehicle of their own, a 1977 Dodge ambulance. Listen for two of their songs in the independent feature film, The Dry Land, or during The Rejection Show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in NYC, where they serve as house band. From last year’s Americana Fest 2010, here’s “Your Hearty Laugh.”
