Howdy,

Sometimes I forget in this global village that there is still such a thing
as a regional act. Case in point, I recently read an article by a music
writer that I respect quite a bit andin he article he expressed surprise
that an "unknown" act like the Avett Brothers had reeived nomination for an
AMA award. Now, I could handle a music writer questioning whether they are
good enough to receive a nomination or not, relative to the other artists
that are out there. But I was kinda shocked to see him call them "unknown".
Heck, they've been on Conan, what more does it take to become a national
household name? ;-) Because in NC, the Avett Brothers have a fiercly loyal
following and are by some accounts the Next Big Thing among the twangy set.
So if you're not in NC or you're unfamiliar with the Avett Brothers, do your
self a favor and watch their video on the Taproot web site and go listen to
their songs. I'd dearly like to get them over the regional act.

As always, the full rotation is
