Honky Tonk Confidential

LINKS

        local support


        We belong to WAMA, a very supportive group for musicians. We urge you to join, too! IN 1999, HTC won a WAMMIE (the prestigious WAMA award) for DEBUT CD!! Over the past three years, Honky Tonk Confidential has been  nominated for  Wammies  in these categories: New Artist; Country, Duo/Group; Mike Woods (Country  instrumentalist and male vocalist); Bobby Martin (Country  instrumentalist); Geff King (Country instrumentalist, male vocalist); Diana Quinn (Country  female vocalist) Woo-HOO!!!

        The venerable Mike Schreibman runs this site, which exists to promote Washington-area musicians and artists. One of the premier events they work on is the annual WAMA Crosstown Jam - we were there last year, along with many of DC's finest musicians in all sorts of categories.

        Gig Diary Our friend Chris Russell is a great supporter of the local DC music scene, and he has the pictures to prove it! 

        where to buy alternative country music

        Miles of Music -- A great mail order company with its own cool ezine.

        Village Records -- The latest and greatest in alt/country, including lots of undiscovered gems. They're based in Arkansas, and the proprietor, Bill Lavery, is as straight-arrow as they come.

        Hepcat Records/Distribution -- A way- groovy mail order company in California. 

        SAM Records and Distribution-- Run by Kevin Johnson himself; he distributes many of the CDs we're on.

        Redeye Distribution --  I'm looking for the website!

        ezines  a great way to spread the alternative country gospel. 

        Twangin! Online - Good source for the latest and most fun in alt-country, insurgent country, whatever they call it country. Editrix Cheryl Cline is truly one of a kind! ( Here's our entry in her Directory of Alt-Country Bands.) 

        Country Standard Time - this is the internet version of the magazine you see in only the coolest venues and record stores.Jeff Remz edits this magazine,  which serves up the latest mainstream news as well as underground country reviews and news.

        Alt-Country Page -- Jim Brandon's site includes reviews of twangin' bands, but I don't think they've reviewed us yet.....

        Rural Route -- Garth is the Anti-Hank, and Jeff Wall is St. Peter. Check out his irreverent look at the scene.

        No Depression -- The grandaddy of alternative country magazines, No Depressions is a print mag, but this is its presence on the internet.

        radio
         

        bands/real folks
