Pick of the week: April 14, 2010

(as seen in the Independent Magazine)


We get to travel to Vegas this weekend to accept our ACM Award for Station of the Year. Before and after the show, different record labels set up showcases for their new artists. It's a chance to get a bunch of radio people in the same room, and then have a new talent impress. That's all fine and well, but I'm really in it for the free food and drink. I'll pretty much do anything for a free lunch- a willingness shared by many of my radio brethren. So far I have four of my five meals planned; if anyone knows of an artist showcasing around 2 pm Vegas time on Sunday, shoot me an email.

I do like learning about new artists before they crack radio, but I like it a lot more with a sandwich in my hand. This all makes it easy to pick Cuegrass at The Pit this week. Some good music, and some legendary Q.

Email your band's shows to billydukes@gmail.com and check The Independent Weekly every Wednesday for the QDR Country Concert Calendar.
